Big Sandy Ferry

This is an old railroad bridge across the TN River.







This flooded structure is 7 floors high. It was a cotton depot in the days of massive river transportation of goods going to New Orleans.

Crossing the TN River at Big Sandy

This ferry is one of only a few left in Tennessee. The fee to cross is one Dollar.


I was too awed by the destruction to make pictures of the aftermath of the tornado that went through Big Sandy earlier this year. Loggers are busy reaping the fallen timber that stretches for mile after mile. Residences are slowly being rehabbed or rebuilt.
