there are a few erie canal assets, thats just about it
Yes that is 1 of 2 lift locks in the Trent Severn Waterway about 3 hours north of where I live in Niagara. There is also the Big Chute marine railway which basically is a chamber and hoist that holds the vessel and takes it out of the water over a railroad track up and down the hill to the other body of water. I've actually transited this as it's known as lock 44.
I also live in a city where the Welland Ship Canal transits which are much larger locks (not as big as Panama but close as they were built in the 30's). The tough part about all those assets is the height of the drop is different for every situation. So for example I have dual flight locks of 4,5,& 6 that basically run into each other on two sides to keep upbound and downbound vessels moving. This is soon followed by Lock 7 which is a single lock possibly at another number of meters (I forget the exact lift for each). But by the time it gets to Port Colborne there is lock 8. This lock is an adjustment lock so that it could go up or down depending on the current level of Lake Erie and usually doesn't require the ship to dock. The longest lock on the canal. All 5 of these locks are near tracks in Niagara that I'm building. An Erie canal or Trent canal lock will probably not work as it won't hold an ocean going ship.

Oh for sure John, not being critical at all. In fact I was going to look into building my own asset at some point. But I'm a long ways from being that close to worrying about it.
Thanks

I did a search for Erie Canal assets on the DLS and didn't come up with anything. Do you know where they are ?
Thanks
