Yes, there is at least one on the east coast and I happen to live right near it. The railroad travels along the face of the dam. It was built to prevent further flooding after the area was hit with a disastrous flood in 1955. Here are some photos of mine from that area: <br /> <br />http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=80829 - in this photo you can see the side of the dam and a bridge which spans a large overflow. <br /> <br />http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=80830 - this view shows the Naugatuck River which flows through a part of the dam. <br /> <br />This angle, http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo=2003072719153516171.jpg&order=byposter&page=37&key=miketv , shows an overview of the ROW on the face of the dam. <br /> <br />EDIT: A couple more photos- <br /> <br />http://www.geocities.com/guilford_350/naug23.jpg <br />http://www.geocities.com/guilford_350/naug24.jpg
