Name that place quiz #5
 

The pictures of the Panama Canal locks made me think of this set of
locks. The lift of 169 feet for the 5 locks is double the total lift
in the Panama Canal locks. Where is it?

Yes, indeed. Given that it is universally known as "The Waterford
Flight" and is the claim to fame of that town, I didn't think I could
give credit for an answer of Albany.

This is the first 5 locks in the new Erie Canal. It is also where the
Champlain Canal starts. The Waterford Flight is the largest lift in
the shortest distance of any lock system in the world. Each of the 5
locks lifts about 33 feet, for a total 169 feet
