Moonville Tunnel

Vinton County, OH
visited 8/8/05
Moonville images are all over the Internet, and I just had to see it for myself. It took me forever to get there as I thought I passed it up. I finally got there and ventured down the heavily traveled path before you get to the iron bridge. My hart was racing as I turned my head and see a HUGE black object in the middle of the woods. The tunnel pops out of nowhere. It was creepy for a minute then the history started setting in. All that remains of this small town is the forgotten train tunnel deep in the woods. The tunnel is obviously visited quite frequently as there was graffiti everywhere, some being created 2 days prior to my visit. I'm glad I made the hour drive to Moonville, as it will probably be destroyed soon like so many abandoned places are.
