Everything is trucked or transported by train. The canal is a slow way to go for commerce these days. The canal is used by pleasure boats, tourists, kayakers, etc. The locks still have to work to keep the water level, they drain the canal in the winter and fill it back up in the spring. The elevation at Rome is 420 feet above sea-level :-)

Two barges with three giant fermentation tanks on each barge. Each tank holds like 5,000 kegs of beer. The second barge came by my town today, caught it going through lock 33 after work.

Genny Bock was $1.62/6 in 1983 or '84. It was passable if you tossed that 12th OZ.
