Lock #s 51 and 52 are the first ever C & O Canal locks that I have laid eyes on. I have been obsessed with the C & O Canal and biking the towpath for quite some time now. I have recently been posting old photographs of sites and structures along the canal and "pinning" sites not currently pinned. I was surprised to see that the Tonoloway Creek Aqueduct was not pinned, therefore I have taken care of that matter. The aqueduct is just above Lock 52 and over the years, flood waters have taken a heavy toll. The sides of the aqueduct are pretty much nonexistent. Google users can now post comments and photos of this important historical structure.
Cool building
