Twelve Pole today

This has to be seen.  Being a West Virginian I can say that this has to be the best engineered highway in the state.  The 1/2 mile tunnel must be a thrill!

  If you haven't ridden on WV County Route 3/5 that was laid over the N&W's old Twelve Pole line's roadbed you can do the next best thing by taking a vicarious ride at www.YouTube.com.  If you search for "twelvepole road" at the YouTube site you will be treated to a nine-minute trip along the road, through "single-track" bridges and through the "single-track" Breeden tunnel on a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 motorcycle.  If you search for "Dingess Tunnel" you can experience a ride through the long "single-track" Dingess tunnel on the same motorcycle.

  Enjoy,

  Gordon Hamilton
