Summary
Lock 30 (Brunswick) was one of three locks extended upstream in 1875 to permit two boats to pass through a lock simultaneously. When both locks were in operation, there would have been a set of lock gates at the upper end of the extension, near where the post is sticking out of the ground in the photo.
The busy railroad town of Brunswick, and the sight of railroad cars as shown on the right would have been a common sight to canallers.
The B&O Railroad and C&O Canal both opened for business at around the same time as old Berlin became both a railroad and canal town.
