A creek comes down from the mountains to join the river, passing underneath a low stone railroad trestle and, next to it, an aqueduct carrying a canal that once carried coal boats pulled by horses and mules.
The canal and the railroad were competing economic interests and fought over every square foot of space in this narrow part of the valley. In the end, the railroad won, and the canal went out of business as a commercial entity in 1924.
