Tunnel at Talcott, West Virginia

 As a youngster I walked along these tracks and sometimes

would sneak into that dark tunnel.

Of course I would make sure there were no trains coming.

Looking back on that, it was probably a very stupid thing to do!

This is the tunnel in Talcott West Virginia, near where I grew up.

It is the sister to the tunnel (which is beside this one)

that John Henry worked on. Do you know the legend of John Henry?

He really isn't a legend where I grew up...we think he was real and that

he really DID beat that steam drill.
