Blogging the Railroad Tunnels

Here we are at Perkins tunnel and, as  you can see, we’re 18 miles from EC.  It’s 496′ long and was refaced in 1917…the date’s clear, but I went for the scenic shot, so you really can’t see it in this picture (but you do get to see the neat mile marker).  This tunnel is at 37.161187, -82.370361, about .5 mile west of Clinchco.
