What river does Beaver and Erie Canal and Louisville and Portland Canal have in common?
Beaver and Erie Canal The Beaver and Erie Canal, also known as the Erie Extension Canal, was part of the Pennsylvania Canal system and consisted of three sections: the Beaver Division, the Shenango Division, and the Conneaut Division. The canal ran 136 mi north–south near the western edge of the state from the Ohio River to Lake Erie through Beaver County, Lawrence County, Mercer County, Crawford County, and Erie County, Pennsylvania.
Schuylkill River The Schuylkill River ( , locally ) is an important river running west to east in eastern Pennsylvania, which was improved by navigations into the Schuylkill Canal. Several of its tributaries drain major parts of the center-southern and easternmost Coal Regions in the state. Originating from waters in the Anthracite Coal Region, millions of tons of coal enabling the iron and steel based industries of America's largest city of the day made their way down the waterway to make a great dent in the 19th-century's energy needs. It flows for 135 mi before joining the Delaware River as one of its largest tributaries in Philadelphia.
