Lockport’s Historic Flight of Five
from $27.00
As the train slows down near Lockport, New York, passengers press their faces against the windows to take in the breathtaking sight of the historic Flight of Five locks on the Erie Canal. The view is a snapshot of history and engineering, framed by the charming small-town life of Lockport. The locks, nestled between brick buildings and lush greenery, glint in the sunlight, their waters reflecting the brilliant blue sky above.
The Erie Canal, often called "Clinton’s Ditch" when it was first envisioned in the early 19th century, transformed New York and the nation by providing a crucial trade route between the Hudson River and the Great Lakes. Lockport became one of the canal's most iconic stops, thanks to the remarkable Flight of Five, a series of five locks designed to lift boats up the Niagara Escarpment. Completed in the 1820s, these locks were a marvel of engineering, allowing goods to flow westward, fostering economic growth, and turning Lockport into a bustling canal town.
From the train, the view of the locks is mesmerizing. The old and new locks sit side by side, a testament to innovation and preservation. The modern locks are still in use, but the restored Flight of Five—no longer operational—stands as a proud reminder of Lockport’s canal heritage. You can see small groups of visitors walking along the pathways, stopping to read interpretive signs or watch the water cascading through the gates.
The town itself feels timeless. Church spires rise above the rooftops, their bells ringing softly in the distance. The streets are lined with historic buildings, their red bricks glowing in the afternoon sun. A gentle breeze carries the scent of freshly cut grass and hints of the nearby canal waters. You can almost hear the faint echo of mule drivers shouting commands as they guided their teams along the towpaths of the canal’s early days.
Lockport is a town that cherishes its history, and it shows in the care taken to preserve the Erie Canal’s legacy. Local residents speak with pride about their town’s role in shaping America’s waterways. Every summer, the canal is alive with activity—boats navigating the locks, festivals celebrating the canal’s history, and visitors from around the world marveling at this small town’s outsized impact on American commerce and culture.
As the train picks up speed and the locks disappear from view, you’re left with a feeling of awe and nostalgia. The Flight of Five is more than just an engineering achievement—it’s a symbol of resilience, progress, and the indomitable spirit of small-town America. Lockport, with its rich history and vibrant present, offers a glimpse into a time when canals were the lifelines of a growing nation and reminds you of the beauty in connecting past and present.
