| Advanced Approach Photography posted “Appalachian Intersection” A CSX loaded coal train makes its way east towards Newport News as it crosses over the James River and the Appalachian Trail in Snowden, VA with one CSX’s Georgia Railroad mullet unit on point. The bridge to the left is the James River Foot Bridge, which is the longest pedestrian-only bridge along the length of the Appalachian Trail. Andrew Maus posted |
I wondered why the river was so wide here. Then I noticed there is the Cushaw Dam just a little bit downstream from here.

There seems to be a rather consistent flow over the dam. Most photos show it spilling some water.
