A sunny afternoon in the quaint border town of Fort Erie, Ontario finds CN 2100 (née CNW 8553) sitting on the once busy shop track. Today, Ft. Erie is all but a shadow of it's former self, and the vintage switch lock is one of the few reminders from the once bustling yard.

German's Lock (Lock No. 5) and Bridge (No. 3) on the Rufford Branch of the Leeds Liverpool Canal. It's quite a common feature of canals for a lock to abut a bridge. When excavating the canal bridges would need to be built where tracks and roads crossed the line so why not situate the locks as near as possible to where carts could deliver the stone, wood and iron?

Teddington Lock is a complex of three locks and a weir on the River Thames between Ham and Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. It was first built in 1810.
The limit of legal powers between the Port of London Authority, the navigation authority downstream to the North Sea and that upstream to small headwaters of the river, the Environment Agency, is marked nearby by an obelisk on the Surrey bank. Teddington Weir marks the river's usual tidal limit and is the lowest on the Thames. This lock is the lowest full-tide lock and second lowest of all-tide locks on the Thames.
The complex of civil engineering consists of a large long weir and three locks: a conventional launch lock in regular use, a very large barge lock and a small skiff lock. The barge lock was made to accommodate long barges, steamers or passenger ferries and has an additional set of gates half-way to operate more quickly for shorter craft. The staggered structures incorporate two reinforced narrow islands. The upper island is traversed by and accessible by the lock gates or Teddington Lock Footbridge.
Locking heads together. Noticed this interesting zip on one of the wife's bags. Not seen one like it before

Lock 75 along the C&O Canal towpath.
The C&O Canal was built between 1828 and 1850 in hopes of realizing huge monetary profits by reducing the costs of transporting raw goods from the Ohio River valley to Washington DC and manufactured goods back again. It follows the Potomac River from Cumberland to Georgetown and totals 184 miles. Unfortunately, while thousands of workers were laboriously digging this ditch by hand, tracks for the B&O Railroad were being laid along the same route, finishing 8 years ahead of the canal.
By the time the canal was finally completed it was already obsolete!
Nowadays its a scenic hiking and cycling path with lots of shade, frequent hiker-biker primitive campgrounds and occasional views of the Potomac.
My wife and I rode our bikes 150 miles along the trail over three days in late August when the weather had turned just a bit cooler.

Taken with a Nikon F5 and AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED lens. The film type is expired Fuji Sensia 100, which was pushed 2 stops, because the camera was set to ISO400 by accident.
The colours where shifted quite towards red and this was corrected in lightroom.
Locked Up - The Stymie Lock on the gate to the access road to the old GAT missile control site in Yorktown, VA USA. This site is now a radio transmitter and water works site. Camera = Nikon F100 - Film = FPP Mummy 400 - FPP Monobath B&W Developer
At the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi River Lock & Dam #4 in Alma, Wisconsin a Marquette Transportation barge is locking through on their way up River – There were 11 barges total in this move, so the entire assembly would not fit inside this particular lock. - The first image is a member of the barge crew handing off a rope to a lock employee so that the first 8 barges can be tied off to allow the 3 rear barges and the tug to separate and back out into the clear. – Once the rear gates are closed the water level is raised within the lock, and then the forward gates are opened so that the 8 lead barges can be winched out of the lock and tied off again. – The second image is of the tug/tow boat “Ronald E. Wagenblast” in the lock with the 3 rear barges. - Since this whole process can be somewhat time consuming, it’s not hard to be able to catch a train and barges in the same shot with the BNSFs double track main line so close to the Lock & Dam site. – The final image is the now re-assembled lashed barges exiting the locks with the twin EMD 16-645E7B Marine diesels of the tug churning up the River waters to continue their trip up the Mississippi, and unless the final destination for this barge is Red Wing, then the next stop will be Lock & Dam #3 at Welch, Minnesota. – July 11th, 2020 ~~ Jeff Hampton Photographs ©
After my Pacific Crest Trail five mile hike, I found this gate on my way to Tehachapi. The subject works well on HP5+. This lock kept me from taking a picture of what I pulled off the road for.

This is the second roll of film I've run through my Nikon F2 Photomic, and I must say I'm impressed with the camera. The thing is roughly 40 years old and it is working like it was just taken out of the box.
