    Eastbound locking without issue. The lift was a gentle 1-2ft. The West side exit is width restricted to 23' as one door doesn't open. Had issues getting the preceding railroad bridge opened to get to the lock. See review for RR bswing bridge.

    The Keen Lock is a bit shorter than previous ones. The Lock Tender was great, gave clear instructions, and provided insight that the water flow would hold us on the Starboard side wall for 50' or so (eastbound). As soon as we entered the lock, the railroad swing bridge closed for railroad traffic - good timing. The Corp Lock and bridge tenders have all been great, makes traveling the OWW a pleasure.
