Jay joins the crew of the tugboat Kimberly Selvick for a day of moving barges on the Calum

The Calumet River doesn't have nearly the traffic it had in the heyday of steel production on the Southeast Side of Chicago. But there is still plenty of work for the crew of the tugboat Kimberly Selvick. It's just one of the boats operated by Calumet River Fleeting. Jay tags along for a day to see how it's done.
