Mason Jar and abandoned tunnels. Crum, Kermit, Williamson, West Virginia
Tunnel information below...
As you know i was down in Virginia visiting the Natural tunnel and catching an amazing NS coal drag thru there, and it was time to head home, we went to visit the local town of Appalachia, then we headed home I got to pikeville and and seen route 119 and knew that went into Williamson WV, just had to go up route 52 and show you these great tunnels along the NS heartland corridor of the pocahontas division.
The Norfork Southern Heartland corridor links the port of Norfolk Virginia to Chicago Illinois, via Columbus Ohio.
The Heartland corridor project started in 2007 and opened September 9 2010. It cost 321 million to complete. Its purpose was to build an intermodal yard in Columbus Ohio, and to fix clearance along the route to run double stack trains, which previously took 3 days travel time, now takes 2. The project addressed vertical clearances of 28 tunnels and 24 overhead obstructions in the Appalachian mountains. This is how the Mason jar tunnels were born.
To accommodate the double stacks, rounded tunnels were transformed to square roofs and 8 tunnels with arched roofs went thru linear notching and tracks were lowered. resulting in the now famous Mason jar tunnels.
