The big one
The Nicole Leigh Reinauer/RTC 135 combination is the biggest ATB we see regularly coming through on runs upriver, though we don’t see her as often as some of the smaller units. The Nicole Leigh tug is rated at 7,200 horsepower and the barge is 460 feet long. Last week, the unit was returning to the…

Convoy
A pair of venerable tugs, Dace Reinauer and Pearl Coast, came up the North River in close succession on Wednesday evening and passed Spuyten Duyvil heading north. Dace was paired with RTC 62, low in the water and loaded with a fuel delivery for North Albany terminal, while Pearl was returning to the Ravenna cement…

Back in town?
The Laurie Ann Reinauer / RTC 85 ATB was anchored on the North River this past weekend. This is the first time I have seen this unit up here since early 2022 and she may have been working outside of NY Harbor for a bit (not sure). Laurie Ann is of similar class/design and vintage…

Summer driving

On Thursday, Reinauer’s Kristy Ann/RTC 82 ATB was Albany-bound in the rain with a products cargo, passing Josephine/RTC 83 with a light barge anchored off North Bergen. On Friday morning, the…

Reinauer river

See you on one
The Curtis Reinauer / RTC 80 ATB passed Captain Dann with light tank barge DS-43 on one whistle off Guttenberg in the early Tuesday haze. The Captain was returning from a run to an unknown terminal north of Kingston while Curtis was Albany-bound with a cargo.

On Tuesday evening, Stephen Reinauer brought RTC 60 up, shadowed by Lucy Reinauer who then took over the barge at anchor while Stephen returned to the harbor.

Spuyten Duyvil
The Reinauer Twins/RTC 104 ATB (4,000 HP tug with a 413’ barge) passed the Henry Hudson Bridge and the Amtrak swing bridge over Spuyten Duyvil on a hazy Sunday aftteroon, leaving what I consider the upper limits North River (though the name is applied by some to the entire length of the Hudson to Albany…

Going out like a lamb
A clear and windy Thursday saw Morgan Reinauer with RTC 103 and Saint Emilion with tank barge A87 anchored in the North River about 1/2 mile apart from each other and about 4 miles south of the GW Bridge. They both stopped here on the way back to the harbor from products deliveries in Albany.…

New and old, big and small, heavy and light

Hey, it’s Franklin
Franklin Reinauer, I believe the smallest tug in the Reinauer fleet, was on the North River Monday with the 300-foot RTC 42 tank barge. After spending a very windy morning at anchor on the river, Franklin was heading back to the harbor Monday afternoon, passing the Port Imperial ferry terminal in Weehawken and the West…

Moving volume
The Nicole Reinauer/RTC 135 ATB came up the North River Saturday morning. With the barge 460-feet long and the tug 119 feet, this is one of the biggest ATBs we see going up river regularly, or perhaps the biggest. This combination often only goes up as far as Newburgh, which was their initial destination on…

Janice Ann makes a quick visit
The Janice Ann Reinauer/RTC 103 combination caught the morning light as they made a wide turn with the ebb tide off North Bergen Monday morning. The ATB had made a brief detour up the North River on the way back from New Haven before turning and heading for the Kills and, probably, a new cargo…
