GEORGE CLIFTON EDWARDS, Jr., Senior Circuit Judge,
concurring with Circuit Judge MILBURN’S dissent.
The United States, because of its agent’s negligence, should be held liable for one-half of the damage to the lockgate which the Chotin barge train hit.
*1356I feel that Justice Stewart’s unanimous opinion for the Supreme Court in United States v. Reliable Transfer Co., 421 U.S. 397, 95 S.Ct. 1708, 44 L.Ed.2d 251 (1975), was and is correct, and that it requires the result reached by Judge Milburn’s opinion, in which opinion I join.
