A Fair Port on the Erie Canal







Fairport is sort of my home base away from home. I must have accumulated at least 500 miles running on the streets and canal towpath trail in the Village of Fairport....as well as watched hundreds of trains go through the CSX main line crossing in the center of the village. (My son had a fascination with trains in his toddler years.)

These photos are from an early morning run in July - just before hitting the farmer's market. The bridge in the canal shot actually lifts straight up for tall boats to pass, and the smokestack in the far right is from the old American Can Company plant which was an early anchor industry for the town. The other shot is of the massive can factory which stretches for several blocks along the railroad tracks.
