Reviews
"This is the location of the Morris Canal Plane 1 East. Rather than simply using locks to raise and lower barges the Morris Canal used incline planes. Incline planes were where barges were lifted uphill on cradle rail cars powered by water spinning a turbine. Here there’s a nice parking area where you can access the tow path going up the hill. Near the top you can find the sleeper stones still in place that the rails were attached to. Across the street you can find the tailrace tunnel. This is where the water from the turbine exited the system. The building housing the turbine mechanism was between the plane and the road."
