The Norfolk & Western Railroad (N&W) Ohio Extensio

The Norfolk & Western Railroad (N&W) Ohio Extension along Twelvepole Creek was part of the original alignment of the N&W between Lenore, West Virginia, and Ohio. It was replaced by the 59-mile Big Sandy Low-Grade Line through Mingo and Wayne counties and much of the original Ohio Extension was dismantled in 1933. Much of it was converted for automobile use and includes several tunnels and many bridges. Photos in this post include the Dingess Tunnel, several bridges, the Breeden Tunnel, and depots at Dunlow and Lavalette. ¶

This is the Bethlehem Methodist Church that was organized and built in 1892 in rural Greenup County, Kentucky. Thomas McNeal donated the property for the structure and Hattie Bryson collected funds for the structure’s construction, which was erected by James W. West and Maurice Edmund Cartwright. The church was later known as the Old Star of Bethlehem Church. ¶

Years ago, I was scouting aerial images of northern Kentucky and came across the Richwood Tahoe Railroad, a two-foot narrow-gauge passenger railroad around the Columbia Sussex headquarters. At the time, it featured the state's only working steam locomotive.

Whether because of Columbia Sussex's contraction because of the 2008 economic recession or because of a lack of charitable events that the railroad depended upon, the Richwood Tahoe Railroad no longer operates. ¶

Years ago, I came across the Kanawha Falls Bridge

Years ago, I came across the Kanawha Falls Bridge in central West Virginia while traveling through some one-lane gravel and dirt back roads. Turning a corner, all of a sudden there was a wide, two-lane bridge that connected over to the Midland Trail (US Route 60).

Fast forward to more recent times and this 1,000-foot span has been closed to automobile traffic since 2018 because of a failed steel beam. Plans had been in place to rehabilitate this historic bridge, but the extensive work that is now required may shelve those plans and keep this crossing closed for good. ¶

Recently, I got to visit the West Virginia Central

Recently, I got to visit the West Virginia Central Railroad (WVC) shops and storage yard located in Belington, West Virginia. The WVC took over the CSX Tygart Subdivision in 1997 and today manages freight and excursion passenger operations through some of the most rugged and scenic areas of the Mountain State.

These are photos of the West Virginia Central No. 92, which was built as a General Motors’ Electro Motive Division E8A in September 1950, and the West Virginia Central No. 201. ¶

This is a photo of the disused Glady Tunnel under Shavers Mountain in West Virginia. The 1,000-foot tunnel was built for the Coal & Iron Railway in 1903 and remained in use until 1985 when the C&I's ultimate successor, Chessie, abandoned the railroad between Greenbrier Junction and Durbin. It coincided with the abandonment of the C&O Greenbrier Division south of Cass. ¶

Many years ago, I visited the historic King Solomo

Many years ago, I visited the historic King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, notable for its Tudor Revival-style sanctuary and Art Deco-style auditorium. It was built for Temple Baptist, a conservative, pro-segregationist church, and later became home to King Solomon Baptist Church, which became a popular venue for influential black leaders. ¶

I remember this marina being active when I was a kid growing up along the Ohio River in Kentucky. I was kind of shocked to find it overgrown and abandoned over the summer. ¶

I've long wanted to fly over Cooper Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, which was home to the Columbus Red Birds and later the Columbus Clippers minor-league baseball teams. Constructed in 1931, the 11,000-seat facility remained in use until 2008. ¶

With the inauguration of United States President J

With the inauguration of United States President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. today, I wanted to share a history and gallery of 43 crumbling effigies of the presidents of the United States that stand in a field near Williamsburg, Virginia. The busts are all that remains of the defunct Presidents Park which was the brainchild of Houston sculptor David Adickes first envisioned opening a private park with busts of all of the president’s heads by the fall of 2000.

Dwindling attendance and a lack of private funding for the park led to the closure of the Presidents Park prior to the completion of the bust for President Barack Obama. ¶

Coal was once king but its use as fuel for power plant have been surpassed by cheaper natural gas and cleaner wind and solar alternatives.

This generating station was proposed in the 1940s during a period of economic expansion and population growth in southeast Pennsylvania. It fully opened with three 75 MW coal-fired units and later supplemented with two 17 MW combustion turbines that could be fueled by natural gas or oil.

A combination of environmental regulations, weak power markets, and the plummeting cost of natural gas made the generating station unprofitable and it was decommissioned in 2014. More can be found at abandonedonline.net. ¶

Pictured is the Fisher Covered Bridge, a covered double Town Lattice bridge that carried the St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad over the Lamoille River in Lamoille County, Vermont. Until its renovation in 1968 with steel stringers and a reused deck plate girder to increase its load-carrying capacity, rendering the covered superstructure purely decorative, it was the last of its type on a railroad.

The St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad provided service to rural parts of the state for over a century but a lack of stable revenue forced the closure of the line in 1994. Significant portions of the line are now being rehabilitated into a trail. ¶

It’s been a long ten years since we had a white Christmas down in northeast Kentucky. I took advantage of the serenity and beauty to hit the back roads yesterday to capture this rare event and came across this old one-room schoolhouse and residence in the forgotten community of Limeville.

St. Mark Church in Cincinnati, completed in 1916,

St. Mark Church in Cincinnati, completed in 1916, was patterned after St. Marie in Trastevere and St. Marie in Cosmedio, Italy. Designed by architect Henry J. Schlacks, it featured a mild brown brick and terracotta exterior, colored to match Roman Travertine stone, a Verona facade, a roof adorned with imported orange Roman tiles, and a 130-foot-tall campanile.

St. Mark closed in 2010 and the property has languished ever since. ¶
