Cambridge
The ZVL emerges out of the tunnel at Cambridge, Ohio on a rare Saturday run east of Zanesville. The train will cross Wills Creek in the foreground, a tributary of the Muskingum River.
The tunnel most likely dates back to 1854 when the Central Ohio Railroad hastily completed a railroad between Columbus and the Ohio River at Bellaire. Due to numerous rockfalls, a large portion of the tunnel had to be daylighted. The Central Ohio would ultimately become part of the B&O in 1866 and remained an important Cincinnati-Pittsburgh connection until the Chessie abandoned the railroad east of Cambridge in 1983.
