This Eastbound is approaching an overlook I hadn't visited in about 20 years. Roughly halfway between Buchanan and Eagle Rock, Virginia, it is most frequently referred to by the nearest signal, Lyle.

This Eastbound is approaching an overlook I hadn't visited in about 20 years. Roughly halfway between Buchanan and Eagle Rock, Virginia, it is most frequently referred to by the nearest signal, Lyle. 11:00am |
Here the James River makes some severe bends but the railroad is forced to a more straight path using two bridges and a tunnel (underneath us). 12:49pm |

The tunnel is a short one with an interesting shape, simply carved out of the rock. |
