	What you say makes sense, but the Cascade locks are way too
	new to have employed wrought iron... or at least they look
	too new.  And the locks are about 35 miles east on the river.
	The area in Vancouver I found it in was at one time industrial.
	Now they are building $1M houses on the water.

	Not as easy to find wrought here as back in NJ, but it's still
	findable.  I love scrounging in abandoned places like this.  I
	had a lot of fun combing the abandoned industrial areas of Perth
	Amboy in 2002 with Jack the wonder dog.
