I believe it rests on part of an old dam structure.

From the article linked in my original post, "Our future historic walkway and the levee underneath was built in 1901 to divert water into the canal during low-water spells. Those rails up top carried cranes that lowered diverters between those good ol' piers."

Pretty neat use of abandoned structures.
