During my camping trip my uncle suggested we go check out this southern ohio ledgand, and it was everything everyone says! It was beautiful and Eerie all at the same time, god how I would love to be there at night, We even heard the train whistle! (A whistle that I should mention has been long gone since the late 1800's.)
I suggest you do some research on this amazing piece of history! And visit if you can!

Directions:
From State Route 93-Take State Route 56 to State Route 278 south-following the signs toward Lake Hope State Park. You will pass the iron furnace on the right and then the park lake. After the lake, make the first left on to Wheelabout Road. Almost immediately, the road will fork-veer to the left side of the fork. Follow this road until you get to a metal, one-lane bridge crossing over Raccoon Creek. Just before the bridge and on the left, you will see a pretty well-worn dirt trail that will lead along the bottomland and then up a gravel incline to the old tracks. The Moonville Tunnel is on the left. Watch out for poison ivy all along the trail!
