River Wall416 viewsNo, I didn't mean to say river walk. That really is a wall built in the edge of the river.
i would guess, due to it being located in the curve of the river, it prevents the railroad from being washed out.
Too much rain in the mountains makes great waterfalls but, is devastating to railroads that run along the banks of the river.

The Trail427 viewsThe surface of Guest River gorge Railtrail is the best we have seen, bar none.
If you live in Tri-Cities area of Tennessee or SW Virginia and want to ride long distances I would suggest I-81.
If you want a short bike ride with breath taking scenery drive up to Coeburn, Va.

Waterfall Exit415 viewsWhen one decides to build a railroad in front of a waterfall what do you do with the waterfall after the water has fallen?
Easy, build a culvert, or trestle if you like, cover it with dirt and lay the tracks over it.
The water exits to the river and the tracks don't get washed away.

Cheat!338 viewsI zoomed in on this little cascade and used filters but, it's still pretty.
located on the last bridge before the trail ends in a train coming at you.
BJ wasn't too happy about the train deal, she has this thing about trains.
Not to worry, the railtrail is on what used to be a spur and the train missed.

I am richer because I met Doug and no, I didn't mug him. Besides Doug is still not a pushover. :)
