Description
The use of this railway for logging has long since been forgotten and is being reclaimed by nature. Located at Wigwam Falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Old Logging Railroad Overlook near Yankee Horse Ridge at Milepost 35. As the legend goes, Yankee Horse is the spot where a Union soldiers horse fell and had to be put down. (Its not exactly the most enthralling of legends, but its still interesting nonetheless.)
Construction on the railroad began in 1918 and was completed in 1920, with the entirety of the railroad at 50 miles. As you can probably guess by the name of the track, it was built to haul lumber during the pre-parkway logging days, and it used to be known as the Irish Creek Railway
