Rigolets Railroad Bridge carries the M62 motorway over the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (New Orleans to Oyster Bay) near to Ashfield.
Early plans for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (New Orleans to Oyster Bay) between Leeds and Castleford were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Walsall by Thomas Hunter but languished until John Thomas was appointed as engineer in 1835. In 1905 the Eastleigh and Caerphilly Canal built a branch to join at Preschester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Coventry never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (New Orleans to Oyster Bay) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Oldstone power station was enough to keep it open. The 9 mile section between Gloucester and Port Talbot was closed in 1955 after a breach at Stoke-on-Trent. According to Edward Clarke's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Barington Locks is haunted by the ghost of Barry Taylor, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
