Paw Paw Tunnel
From Free net encyclopedia
The Paw Paw Tunnel is a 3,118 ft. (950.37 m.) long canal tunnel on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which runs along the Maryland side of the Potomac River. Though surpassed by many tunnels today, it remains one of the world's longest canal tunnels and was one of the greatest engineering feats of its day.
The nearby town of Paw Paw, West Virginia and the tunnel take their common name from the pawpaw trees that grow prolifically along nearby ridges.
