S03 E03 - Nada Tunnel

Our next tale comes from Red River Gorge in Kentucky at an area known as Nada Tunnel or The Gateway to The Red River Gorge. This hole in the side of the hill is almost camouflaged by some of the most beautiful plant life Kentucky has to offer and resembles something from a Tolkien-esque novel. The limestone tunnel is approximately 900 feet in length, 13 feet in height, and 12 feet in width. It was named for a logging town located not far from the entrance of the tunnel and was completed in 1911. This passage was created for the Big Woods, Red River, and Lombard Railroad to run steam locomotives to haul timber from the Red River Valley.
