Good Tuesday Morning!
Well, the fall feels like it’s drawing to a close. The hard freeze last week, combined with some serious winds just about knocked all of the leaves off, and driving through the mountains this weekend, it was only a few isolated places that were still hanging on. We still have a few fall photos to share, though!
The Tray Run Viaduct is one of my favorite pieces of West Virginia lore and trivia. The original Viaduct, built just outside of Rowlesburg, WV, was a state-of-the-art bridge, one of the longest and highest bridges built from iron to that time - the mid 1850s. The original viaduct is on the state seal of West Virginia, but was replaced in 1907 by the structure seen here, also a superlative piece of construction. Today, it carries regular trains - several times a day, matter of fact - on what is among the (if not the) largest stone structures in the US.
Hope y’all have a great week!
