Seneca Falls Locks (CS2, CS3) is a group of locks on the New York State Canal System (Cayuga - Seneca Canal, Main Line); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955.

The New York State Canal System (Cayuga - Seneca Canal, Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for stone traffic to Northcorn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The three mile section between Brighton and Southend was closed in 1955 after a breach at Willcroft. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Harding, there is no evidence that William Wood ever made a model of Norwich Tunnel out of matchsticks for a bet
