CH&D tunnel 2 south portal 1 26 06
This is the south portal of tunnel 2. It was a timber portal, that is now hidden by years of slides. The cut on this side is by far the longest and deepest of the two tunnels. These two tunnels were on the CH&D RR Wellston to Ironton branch. Built in 1881-82, and abandoned in 1917. The route was originally built as narrow gauge. There was another tunnel to the south, near Dean, in the Dean State Forest, but it has been totally covered and is no longer visible at all. I found the location, but not the portals.
