Miami and Erie Canal: Maumee Side Cut Lock #6

My friend Greg and I share a love of history and one day during lunch he asked me if I wanted to see a lock that one was part of the Miami and Erie Canal. The rest is history.....Today we found the last of the 6 locks that made up the Maumee Side Cut Canal. I found it strange that even though it is surrounded by houses and a small park, if you weren't looking for it you wouldn't find it, and if you did find it, you wouldn't know what it is unless you know your history.

Abandoned Railroad Bridge Across The Maumee River

While walking the Miami and Erie Canal Towpath yesterday I came across this abandoned railroad bridge, thinking of my friend Greg who likes anything associated with the railroads I took this picture.
