| Description |
Abandoned railroad tunnel in Ohio, USA. (November 2014) This is the northern portal of Noland Tunnel, an old railroad tunnel that is approximately 1500 feet in length. The line was part of the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus Railroad and was used for freight and passenger service. Use of the tunnel and railroad line was discontinued in the 1930s. The tunnel is now mostly collapsed, but both the southern and northern portals are accessible. Bedrock exposures are still present adjacent to the northern portal (see above). These sedimentary rocks are part of the Pottsville Group, a Pennsylvanian-aged cyclothemic succession containing nonmarine shales, marine shales, siltstones, sandstones, coals, marine limestones, and chert ("flint"). The lower Pottsville dates to the late Early Pennsylvanian. The upper part dates to the early Middle Pennsylvanian. The Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian boundary is apparently somewhere near the Boggs Member (?). Stratigraphy: Pottsville Group, upper Lower Pennsylvanian to lower Middle Pennsylvanian Locality: Tunnel Hill North Portal Outcrop (= Noland Tunnel's northern portal), ~1.75 air miles north-northeast of the town of Tunnel Hill, western Coshocton County, eastern Ohio, USA (~40° 16’ 33.27” North latitude, ~82° 01’ 53.04” West longitude) |
