Metadata
This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file.

Image title | Railroad cut commonly identified as the site where Phineas Gage had his famous tamping-rod-through-the-skull accident on September 13, 1848. (An account says he was taken 3/4 miles back to town and this cut is both the deepest cut in the area and the 3/4 mile mark from the main intersection.)
This shot is looking northwest, taken from the woods by Cavendish Gulf Road. There is no need to walk along the tracks to see the road cut. May 11, 2009. |
