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.
Visited the Lockhouses would have been nice of the building was open.I can't understand why a lot of the visitor centers and stuff aren't open on weekends isn't that when most people are capable of visiting.
One of the first Aqueducts that I can recall seeing. Always amazes me to see what people have built to accomplish a task.
