The Big Bull Tunnel in Wise County, Virginia looks like any other railroad tunnel, just a simple cut through a hillside.  Looks, though, can be deceiving, as the tunnel's history is packed with accidents, strange noises, deaths, and a chilling encounter that turned a routine inspection into a bit of Appalachian folklore. In this episode, Steve and Rod tell the story of the tunnel's difficult construction, the tragedies that followed, and the story that convinced railroad officials something inside the mountain was best avoided.If you like our Stories of Appalachia, be sure to subscribe and share the podcast with friends who love Appalachian history and folklore.

In Ep. 84 we talk with historian Anthony Cohen about the Underground Railroad and its legendary conductor Harriet Tubman as seen in the 2019 film HARRIET.  Anthony Cohen personally retraced the  journey of the Underground Railroad and self-emancipation by foot, rail, and boat from Maryland to Canada in 1996.  His walk got the attention of Oprah Winfrey who asked him to prepare her for her role in the 1998 film BELOVED based on the Toni Morrison novel.The 2019 film HARRIET traces the escape from slavery to freedom of Minty Ross, and her transformation into the iconic American freedom fighter Harriet Tubman. Haunted by memories of those she left behind, Harriet Tubman ( Cynthia Erivo) ventures back into dangerous territory on a mission to lead others to freedom. With allies like abolitionist William Still (Leslie Odom, Jr.) and the entrepreneurial Marie Buchanon (Janelle Monae), Harriet Tubman risks capture and death to guide hundreds to safety as one of the most prominent conductors of the Underground Railroad. -------TIMESTAMPS0:02 - Podcast Open1:49 - History of the Underground Railroad3:59 - Overview HARRIET film5:00 - Anthony Cohen's 1996 Underground Railroad Journey16:25 - Underground Railroad: Networks, Risks, and Dangers27:56 - Preparation for Historical Immersive Experiences 32:26 - Preparing Oprah Winfrey for BELOVED film42:50 - The Menare Foundation Mission and Activities46:22 - Five Steps for Understanding Freedom Seekers46:49 Anthony Cohen's 2026 Walk to Canada1:02:25 - Engaging with History and Call to Action------Revolution to Rights: America at 250 " series.

While the Underground Railroad pointed north, there was another route to freedom—south into Mexico. After winning independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico passed what historians describe as radical antislavery laws, and Mexicans at every level of society were serious about enforcing them.     #blackhistory365 #bhms #mexico #mexicohistory #celebrateblackhistory

Imagine a single railroad company that could move freight seamlessly from the ports of Los Angeles to the ports of New York without handoffs, interchange delays, or needing to switch carriers mid-journey. That's the promise behind the proposed merger between the Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads. If the deal is approved, it will create the first single-line transcontinental railroad in U.S. history, spanning more than 50,000 miles across 43 states and nearly 100 ports. Supporters say this could make rail a more serious competitor to long-haul trucking, lowering costs and improving supply chain efficiency. Critics say it risks concentrating too much power in too few hands in an industry where four railroads already control more than 90% of U.S. freight. Earlier this month, regulators hit the reset button. The Surface Transportation Board (STB) rejected the merger application - not on its merits, but because the paperwork was incomplete. In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner covers: What Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are proposing, and why it would be historically significant The arguments for the merger, including efficiency, cost, and competition with trucking The arguments against it, from labor, shippers, competitors, and policy advocates Where the Surface Transportation Board fits in, and what the January 2026 rejection means from an approval and timeline standpoint Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

"Ask A Gettysburg Guide #120 - Civil War Railroads," features Licensed Battlefield Guide Rich Kohr discussing the crucial role of railroads during the American Civil War. Here are the key takeaways from the discussion: Railroads' Crucial Role (6:32): The Civil War was the first major conflict where railroads were essential for supplying armies, moving troops, and transporting equipment on a massive scale. Rapid Expansion Before the War (7:23): In 1840, the U.S. had 3,000 miles of railroad. By 1850, it grew to 9,000 miles. By 1860, it reached 30,000 miles, with a significant disparity between North and South: the North had 21,000 miles, while the South had 9,000 miles. Differences Between Northern and Southern Railroads (8:09): Southern Railroads: Primarily "market railroads" (8:59), designed to transport commodities like cotton, tobacco, and sugar from farms to ports, often with shorter mileage (9:37). Northern Railroads: More focused on connecting cities (9:31) and commerce (11:55), with some relying heavily on passenger business (12:05). Impact on Manpower (12:20): The railroad boom in the 1850s influenced the available manpower for the war. Southern railroads largely used slave labor (12:40), while Northern railroad construction brought in European immigrants, significantly increasing the white male population of military age in the North by 1860 (12:52-13:32). Gauge Issues (14:52): Railroads in 1860 were not standardized in terms of "gauge" (the distance between rails), with about a dozen different gauges in use (15:42). This often meant freight and passengers had to be transferred between different rail lines, as railroads frequently didn't physically connect (21:14-21:41). Southern Reluctance to Modernize (27:59): Despite the recognized need to connect railroads for military purposes, the Confederate legislature debated extensively in 1861, with arguments centering on military necessity (29:11), funding (29:36), and whether connections should be temporary or permanent (30:06). A significant argument against expansion was the belief that the war would be over quickly (31:16). Protection of Railroads (32:59): While initially neglected by figures like Secretary of War Cameron due to personal financial interests (33:11), later in the war, the Union built blockhouses and established a "railroad division" to protect vital lines like the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (33:40-33:51). Compensation and Management (34:04): The U.S. government compensated private railroads for their use by offering higher rates for government shipments (34:49). The North also consistently appointed experienced railroad managers to positions of authority within the War Department, which was a significant advantage (35:09-35:26). Train Speeds (35:34): Wood-burning freight trains typically traveled around 15-20 mph (35:41), while passenger trains could reach 30-40 mph (35:46). Coal-burning locomotives, which were beginning to appear, offered higher speeds and would become more prevalent after the Civil War (36:02).

(00:00:00) First, we meet Matthew Wolff, Curator at the Railroaders Memorial Museum, whose passion for railroad history fuels his work preserving the legacy of the people who built Altoona into a powerhouse of American industry. Matthew guides us through the astonishing story of the Horseshoe Curve, an engineering marvel blasted, dug, and carved through the Allegheny Mountains in the 1850s by Irish immigrant laborers. The Curve became a vital artery for the nation, a target of wartime espionage, and a symbol of the grit that defined Railroad City. We explore how the museum keeps that legacy alive and why the story of Altoona’s workers still resonates today. (00:22:34) Then we travel to York, where Roth J. Preap, Executive Director of the York Art Association, is leading a new chapter for one of Pennsylvania’s oldest arts organizations. Founded in 1905, the Association has weathered cultural shifts, urban flight, and technological change, and now, under Roth’s leadership, it’s preparing to move into a new permanent home known as the Little Green Church. With a $2 million capital campaign underway, Roth shares how the organization is expanding arts education, strengthening community access, and honoring more than a century of creative history.

Despite all we know about the Civil War, its causes, battles, characters, issues, impacts, and legacy, few books have explored Canada's role in the bloody conflict that claimed more than 600,000 lives. Until From Underground Railroad to Rebel Refuge: Canada and the Civil War (ECW Press, 2022) by Brian Martin. A surprising 20,000 Canadians went south to take up arms on both sides of the conflict, while thousands of enslaved people, draft dodgers, deserters, recruiters, plotters, and spies fled northward to take shelter in the attic that is Canada. Though many escaped slavery and found safety through the Underground Railroad, they were later joined by KKK members wanted for murder. Confederate President Jefferson Davis along with several of his emissaries and generals found refuge on Canadian soil, and many plantation owners moved north of the border. Award-winning journalist Brian Martin will open eyes in both Canada and the United States to how the two countries and their citizens interacted during the Civil War and the troubled times that surrounded it. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Toth explains how a proposed coast-to-coast rail merger could reduce bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and lower prices, if Washington gets out of the way and lets the market work.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, TUBMAN, AND DIVERGENT ABOLITIONIST PATHS Colleague Alan Taylor. Taylor discusses the Underground Railroad's informal network and Harriet Tubman's repeated risks to rescue enslaved people.
