rail debris
in the shallows to the east of Lemieux Island, more or less opposite the switch in the tracks up above & mixed in with the plethora of sunken logs, seems to be the remains of a derailment of ago. the foreground object appears to be a sill from a railcar; behind it is an obvious railspike in a beam (it doesn't seem to be a tie) that suggests an old wooden flatcar took a dive here & was never fully recovered
