Running along each side were train tracks. Our ship was attached to 4 of these engines on each side with cables. They slowly pulled us through as we entered each section of the canal and watched the water pour in from the section ahead of it. Then, when the water level was even with the next section, the gate would open.
See the double gates. Our very heavily accented guide who was on the ship's speaker divulging information that most of us couldn't decipher, due to the accent and lousy speakers, said something very clear on this note. It was something like this, "The two gates are there for SAFETY. They are there for the purpose to keep you SAFE."
Oh, the things you can learn!
