600ft locks allow for 6 barges to go through along with the boat or 9 barges by themselves.
Upgrading to 1200 foot chambers would allow the boat and 15 barges to go through without breaking tow. Would take locking from and hour and half to about half an hour and make it much easier on the deck crew as only two crew members would be needed instead of three.
