I am trying to figure out out where your grandpa lives. Is it off Hillcrest?

There are a lot of weeds to walk through and someone has decided that it is okay to throw a refrigerator and a tire there, but all in all, it is still in pretty good shape.

Since it is a Forum, I would think any history that people want to discuss is okay.

Yes, why can't DuBois have a cool Rails to Trails like a lot of other towns do.

Maybe it could be connected to the Walkway since they are talking about a footbridge across Sandy Lick Creek.  

Thanks for the info on the B & O Railroad.

I know the original rail bed ran North to Maple Avenue and across the bridge and over to Sandy Lick Creek. I don't know if it ran up to Sabula or down to Falls Creek from there.

Southbound it goes behind Triangle Springs and down towards Sykesville (maybe Helvetia Mines).

How about it Steve?

I think there would be a lot of interest!

Great idea!

I know the Highland Street Tunnel was discussed on here not too long ago but does anyone know the history of the tunnel?

I know it was built in 1903 but I would like to know if the tunnel had a real name, what rail line went through it, where that line originated and ended, etc.

It seems like it could provide a very good piece of local history.
