Navigational map of the FEC railroad trestle. Proceed at your own risk!
FWC Slow Speed Marker West of FECR Trestle
The "slow speed" navigational sign located, somewhat ironically, on the western side of the FEC trestle.
Iron strap from railroad extracted from creek
Although scientifically unproven, this iron strap is not believed to be naturally occurring.
Box car discard?
a closer image of the discarded iron strap in the creek....
Grounded kayak
Shallow enough?
Grounded kayak 2
Not enough water to float a kayak.
FEC trestle rapids - boaters beware!
The outgoing tide rips around the trestle.
Eastward View of Navigational Advisory
The trestle can be seen behind the sign. It begs the question of the purpose of the sign, west of the trestle, when so few boats have access to the waterway and no agency has shown any interest in enforcement.
Northeast bank of FEC trestle
The iron strap, presumably from a box car, is at the lower left of the photo. It was placed there after being removed from the creek. The discarded concrete flotsam is to the right of the photo.
Southeastern View of FEC Trestle
Discarded concrete ties litter the southeastern bank of the trestle.
Northwest Bank of FEC Trestle
The iron strap is visible on the right after being removed from the creek.
Southwestern View of FEC Trestle
Boaters beware! The current rips through this narrow passage beneath the FEC trestle. It is the only way in. It is the only way out.
