Hennepin Canal Lock #26 and Lift Bridge

(Bridge Hunter; Satellite)

Hennepin Canal overview

The railroad just south of the lock is the IAIS/Rock Island. The Hennepin Canal was built because enough people felt that the rates charged by the Rock Island were too high.

This view is looking West, the north tower is hard to see because of the trees.

After the Canal finally opened at lock 26, bridge 40, several employees complained about the job because it had “too many ups and downs”. All original photos are from my personal collection.
