N&W in 1908 -- Fatality

[NW Mailing List]

Cowee Tunnel on former Southern Railway's  Trashville
Division was built with convict labor rented from  the
state of North Carolina.  Crossing the  Tuckasqueegee
River en route to work, the boat overturned and 19
chained convicts drowned.  Without names, the 
graves overlook the tunnel site.  Perhaps in  1879,
records for the convicts' ID were clueless.
