Good stuff

Wonderful article. Needs to be brought up to date to include ongoing modernization in progress, the unique (old) gear driven drawbridge, and details from the riverman's POV. I will work on these and ask for feedback/suggestions here. Stephenlegh (talk) 15:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for article expansion

Google only provides snippets, but someone finding a copy of Triumph at the Falls by the Louisville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and adding detail from that. — $Llywelyn II$ 11:40, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
