When traveling on the Empire Builder you will pass the Dresbach Lock and Dam at mp 286. You might see a barge locking its way through the dam. Like Amtrak, the great Mississippi waterway is subsidized. Barge traffic is artificially supported by a 92% federal subsidy—only 8 cents on the dollar of barge shipping is paid for by operators. Where is the cry from Congress to reduce and or eliminate this river of subsidy?
