Thawedis a past participle, whereas fresh is an adjective. How ever, they are parallel to each other, since they both are functioning here as adjectives to modify a noun. Only a few feet wide BUT spanning a continent, the railroad changed history. Both wideand spanningdescribe the railroad. Wideis an adjective, whereas spanningis a present parti ciple.
