- Gate Assembled - This is the "assembled" spare mitre gate that was placed in its gate recess at Mississippi River Lock 19 on January 12, 2003. The gates are in two pieces and must be assembled. This is the East Leaf and is placed on the riverside wall. "We think changing a tire is a chore," writes John Miller. "Just imagine doing this?" The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to dewater the lock chamber again this year. Copyright John Robert Miller.
- Original Mitre Gate - Work on the lower mitre gates at Mississippi River Lock 19 is moving right along. This photo was taken from the Old Highway Bridge on January 11, 2003, and shows the original gates. The gates tower above the old bridge, and you can see the supports as well as the turnbuckles at (at the bottom of the photo) that hold them in place. The gates were pulled in December 2002. The original gates had not been pulled since the lock was completed in 1957. Copyright John Robert Miller.
- Swinging The Gate - The floating crane Quad Cities lifted the spare gate and swung it downstream where it was set on two "pillow blocks" and then, with the use of chains and turnbuckles, was secured until it was placed into the gate recess on January 12, 2003. Photographer John Miller wrote, "The Quad Cities swung this around as if it were made of cardboard and set her down right on the pillow blocks. You’ve got to admire the fellows that do this and make it look so easy." Copyright John Robert Miller.
