Spring is Here!
With the weather getting nice a lot of people are getting outside now, including me. One of my favorite things to do is go hiking to old railroad sites like the Moonville and King’s Hollow Tunnels to take pictures and explorer these old sites. On one of my recent trips I visited the concrete supports for the railroad trestle of the long gone Floodwood coal mine spur
on the Adena-Hockhocking Bike Path near Nelsonville. While there I thought I would be cool to find facts about these sites and do trivia questions on them on the website.
So when you check out our Photo of the Month be sure to check out the trivia questions with it and e-mail me your answers and we will see who knows there local railroad history the best at the end of the year.
Your Webmaster and Secretary,

Fact of the Month The second Cascade Tunnel near Washington State which was put in service on January 12, 1929 and The Flathead Tunnel in Montana which opened in 1970 are the two largest railroad tunnels in the United States. However both of them combined still would not be longer then The Seikan Tunnel in Japan which is the world’s longest at 33.46 miles. From Wikipedia |
