<DIV>In early 2008 (1/5/2008, 1/17/2008, 1/18/2008, 5/29/2008) I posted several
articles from the Bluefield Daily Telegraph about Eggleston tunnels, and
some cave-in accidents. My comments on the new tunnels were:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><EM>The First Eggleston Tunnel was replaced by a
double-track tunnel on new location, length 893 feet as reported in the 1906
Annual Report. The work referred to in the above article could have been
in connection with the doubletracking that was probably underway in 1903
because it was reported in the 1906 Annual Report as almost finished
from Eggleston to Pembroke, 6 miles. Finally, </EM><EM>The second Eggleston
tunnel was replaced by a double track tunnel on new location, length 1176 feet
according to the 1907 Annual Report.</EM>]</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The
tunnels have been part of the original N&W New River Division right of way
(Radford to Bluefield/Pocahontas) that was completed in 1883 extending the
N&W Railroad into the Pocahontas Coalfields from the former VA & TN at
Radford. I'm at work and don't have reference materials with me so
I don't have the actual dates but the right of way was improved/better aligned
and double tracked over time (early 1900's I believe?…..I'll look it up
tonight when I get to the house) and these tunnels were abandoned.
Looking at Google Earth Maps the second tunnel appears to be at a
location west (nearer Pembroke) from the one I was at in July (barely west of
Eggleston). Next time I get back to God's country to visit I'm going to
take a look at this second tunnel too. It appears relatively accessible
by road.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
