[N&W] Re: VGN and R.D. Bailey Dam

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Some debate exists about the tunnels.  NONE were used for letting
water out of the reservoir.

The tunnel closest to the dam - there's debate about whether it was
sealed or not.

The upper tunnel - is open - and at low pool the up river portal is
exposed.

The way that I understand it - a Virginian tunnel was submerged under the
water of the lake - not used as any type of outlet for the lake.  There is a
campground on the lake that uses a Virginian tunnel as a part of its access
road and part of the campground's roads are built on the former right-of way.
