Two of five stone piers of old Shenandoah Valley Railroad bridge across the Potomac, built in 1880. The piers rest on wood cribbing; now that Dam No. 3 is no longer extant, the wood cribbing is rotting. On the West Virginia side is a monument to James Rumsey, who demonstrated his steamboat here in December of 1787.
