Trestle Into Pounding Mill Tunnel

This is the trestle leading into the Pounding Mill Tunnel #1 in Tazewell VA (at 37.07660, -81.71674). Norfolk and Western (after 1980 Norfolk and Southern) ran this line through to the coal fields between 1887 and 1890. One abutment dates to 1930 and the other to 1941, so a bit of work has been done on this trestle. I originally posted Pounding Mill Tunnel #1 on October 1, 2012, which was a view from the opposite side, complete with signage.
