Kenny Sheets: Where is this lyft bridge?

Dennis DeBruler replied to Kenny's question
Note the remnants of a lock from a previous canal channel. Counting the 1973 bypass channel, there have been five canals through here.

A video I snagged from the bridge of the Algoma Transport as her fleetmate the Algoma Guardian leaves Wharf 16 past us in Port Colborne. 
You can't even pay for this freakin' amazing view!!

The 3D Satellite view also shows an abandoned railroad swing bridge over the old canal remnant. There used to be a second lift bridge to carry the railroad across the new channel.
