Railroad Day At Natural Tunnel State Park
July 19 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
For years, the railroad has played a vital role in the economics and history of Southwest Virginia. The park and Norfolk Southern Railroad are partnering together to provide a program that will touch on railroad history and promote railroad safety. 
The tunnel is normally closed to foot traffic; however, for this special event, train traffic will stop and you can walk the tracks through the tunnel. 
Guests are encouraged to hike down the trail or ride the chairlift to visit the tunnel. While you’re there, stop by Carter Cabin to hear about the history of the cabin and the area.
