True. So very true. If I did think of that, The closest dry stick around me was about 25 verdical ft. up. If not more.
The Board Tree tunnel, I far as I know was never update and the "Old Main Line" also known as the "Fairmont Subdivision" and the tracks through Cameron were removed in the 1970's.
Freight (to Wheeling) was rerouted through the Short Line to New Martinsville in 1963.
