Ruins At Little Falls New York

[@carolyncookcall2802]

Good job on the video! I grew up in Middletown, NY. The closest we came to Little Falls, was Delta lake near Rome a bit west from there. Keep up the good work. KZbin is pushing your videos out there.

You should consider that there are two New Yorks. NYC where most of the population live and upstate. When almost any statistic is considered NYC skews the numbers so they have little value. Also, the original Erie Canal was replaced around 1900 with a new canal using more of the rivers and abandoning much of the original. As built it adapted trolley technology (DC motors to open and lose doors and gates, lock-located and water powered DC generators to drive such equipment. Much of that is still in use.

I would have liked you to spend more time in Ilion. A small town with a rich history.

[@jackjewell9627]

Check out three books on the village. Our town Ilion New York. All three volumes.

Big building is a rock crusher.Big rocks go in the top small crushed rocks go into train cars at bottom.

[@discoverupstatenewyork4974]

@@jackhull1778 yes it is and sometime in the future going back and explore that building if I can.

[@rikkilee9409]

that is the barge canal

[@midstaterustics4507]

I think it is either an old gravel loading or coal loading facility

[@discoverupstatenewyork4974]

Yes I agree

[@charlielaudico3523]

I have fished the canal for many years! If you look real hard you will see something!

[@discoverupstatenewyork4974]

Thank you

The stats don't make much sense for the canal. Unskilled labor, clearing forest and mountain at a rate of just under a mile a week while building 40 ft wide at the same time as inventing "underwater" cement. Oh and it all worked at the first try before power tools were invented...and it still works today...

Yes I have been to some of the modern locks and it’s fascinating how everything was built. I have a big interest in the canal systems in New York. I have visited places where there were other canals like, the Genesee Valley canal which the towpath is the Genesee Greenway trail. Thank you for your comment.
