The beginning and the end of a lovely, cool, woodland hike yesterday. This tunnel is still used by trains crossing the Continental Divide today. As we arrived, the engine of a long coal train was just emerging. I drove my parents up here a long, long time ago, when you could still get closer to the mouth of the tunnel. Like MKL, my father loved trains.

Hi Seasweetie! Maureen here. Stumbled upon your blog somehow today and I like it a lot, especially the post/quote/gratitude format you use. Very cool.
Re: Moffat. That must be one long, dark tunnel through that mountain!

Hi, Maureen – so glad you came to visit. Yes, the Moffat is one long dark tunnel. It always baffles me how they construct such things. And I’m so glad you like the header pic. That’s one of Tortola, BVI that I took from a sailboat. Hope your week is happy as well.

So Does That Mean I'm Southern
Love this post and it reminds me of trains that are so much a part of the mountains of North Carolina
