During the turn of the century, in the backwoods of Vinton county, and deep in the woods of Wayne National Forest, the small iron producing town of Moonville thrived. The Baltimore and Ohio steam locomotive regularly traveled to the town to deliver supplies and passed through the infamous Moonville Tunnel. Locals say that one rainy night a drunken brakeman waved his lantern to stop the train, stumbling he fell upon to the train tracks losing his head to the oncoming train. On rainy nights some say you can see the brakeman's lantern waving to stop a train that is not there. Another ghost story arrives around a young woman that walked the tracks to see her lover in Moonville. She was trapped by the train on the trestle and had no place to flee. She decapitated by the train and is now said to roam the Moonville area around the tunnel.
