Twin Branch, WV

[NW Mailing List]

At Twin Branch, there is a sharp horseshoe curve in the Tug Fork.  Just to
the North of the current #2 tunnel, the Davy Roderfield road is carried
over the Tug Fork on an old narrow bridge, then through the hill by means
of a tiny, rough, one-lane tunnel, then across the Tug Fork again on an a
matching bridge (see photos).  I suspect that these bridges and small
tunnel carried the N&W main at one time, prior to a re-alignment to improve
operations.  Can any one corroborate this?  Would these bridges and tunnel
have had numbers?  When the new ones were built, would the numbers have
been re-used, or would new ones have been assigned?
