so special: The side by side remains of the Erie from different Canal eras. In the foreground are the stones from Lock 20 of Clinton's Ditch, and in the background Lock 29 (The Empire Lock) of the Enlarged Erie. The walls/stones of Lock 20 are listing badly. In 1980 they filled this lock in with gravel to keep the walls from caving in.
nrhp # 66000036- The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, abbreviated as the C&O Canal and occasionally called the "Grand Old Ditch,"[1] operated from 1831 until 1924 along the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Maryland. The canal's principal cargo was coal from the Allegheny Mountains.
Construction on the 184.5-mile (296.9 km) canal began in 1828 and ended in 1850 with the completion of a 50-mile stretch to Cumberland. Rising and falling over an elevation change of 605 feet (184 metres), it required the construction of 74 canal locks, 11 aqueducts to cross major streams, more than 240 culverts to cross smaller streams, and the 3,118 ft (950 m) Paw Paw Tunnel. A planned section to the Ohio River at Pittsburgh was never built.
The canal way is now maintained as the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, with a trail that follows the old towpath.

View of the B&O stone railroad bridge from the C&O canal towpath Bailey Bridge near Brunswick Maryland. The decision to construct the railroad bridge of stone was Caspar Wever's who was superintendent of construction for the railroad. Wever's decision has withstood the test of time and the ravages of floods for over 160 years. Wever's ties to the railroad prompted his obstruction of canal construction. He sought and won damages for condemnation of his property slated for water powered milling and manufacturing development.

The Aldrich Change Bridge was restored and is at Aqueduct Park in Palmyra, NY. Now a little bit of history: It was manufactured in 1858 by Square Whipple . The bridge was originally located at the Weighlock in Rochester but was then moved in 1880 to the Macedon Palmyra Town line. Then in about 1915 it was sold to a local farmer who placed the bridge across Ganargua Creek near Macedon. The bridge was eventually abandoned in in the late sixties or early seventies and just remained there until it collasped in an ice storm and fell in the creek. The town got ownership of it in 1996 and volunteers rescued it from Ganargua Creek in 1997 and started to restore it. It was rededicated in 2004, close to its original location. It is Erie Canal Change Bridge # 35.
