Today the wife and I ventured over to Dingess, WV to check out the Dingess Railroad Tunnel, one of the most haunted locations in West Virginia. The Tunnel and road are the former Norfolk and Western Mainline from Lenore to Wayne, WV. The tunnel, built in 1892 was only in use for 11 years before being abandoned. The right-of-way was turned into a road for automobile use and the tunnel was, at one point, the only entrance to Dingess. Many tragic occurrences surround the tunnel including two trains colliding in the middle of the almost mile long cut in the mountain killing 7 souls.
Our West Virginia crew (myself included) will be conducting an investigation on the tunnel this spring. We will post our findings and any pictures of interest. Can't wait for this one! You can find more information at www.appalachianmagazine.com
