There used to be a RR in this valley I live in. This RR was taken out in 1939 and I've read the rails were used for the WWII effort. We used to find a spike once in a while, when walking on the old bed. There is still one post where the telegraph wire must have run, because towards the top of the post is a threaded wood peg, where the insulator would have been fastened. I was born in 47, so the RR was before my time. Just as you say, the RR here ran along a river, & flooding had to be a problem. I walk the dogs every day on a small portion of this RR bed. Mark.
