To eliminate wake damage, a silt fence must be installed in accordance with the example below:

Perhaps he could just build a moat...

Now that looks like it was effective!

Was up over the weekend and of course the Weirs is one of the first places I went to needing to see the progress that was being made on the washout. They have filled in and planted on the side banks of the "big" washout and collapse....looks like they have filled in partially the other wash out holes, but not completely. In my own personal opinion (which is based on nothing) I would doubt that any train would run over that part of the tracks until next year, but they do have the train running just before the messed up area. I do not think it will have any long lasting effect though, the Weirs was hopping when I went there on Sat and passed by on Sun., which is great news. I hope that everything is back to normal next year.

That's great to hear! The Weirs, from what I've heard, really needs a shot in the arm economy-wise. I'm just wondering, and this is just me ruminating, if a number of people didn't go there to see the damage and ending up finding the attractions.................and perhaps discovering a new vacation destination in the meantime?
