Picture of the day

A time lapse video showing one rotation of the Falkirk Wheel; in this video, the rotation period of approximately 10 minutes has been compressed to ten seconds. Connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal near Falkirk, Scotland, the rotating boat lift raises and lowers boats by 24 m (79 ft). It was opened in 2002 as part of the Millennium Link project.Video: David Iliff

Possible appearance in popular culture?

I don't know if it's worth mentioning in the article, but the elevated railways in Fallout 76 look extremely similar to this whole section of canal complete with a cliff climbing elevator-wheel mechanism. Largely Legible Layman (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
