About: Visitor wants directions to Spurlington Tunnel

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Hello...

Getting to the Spurlington Tunnel is quite simple. (From the South on KY 55, from Columbia, KY. -CM): When you get to Campbellsville, turn right at the second stop light onto Hwy 68 East. Go all the way through Campbellsville (and many stop lights) until you reach the caution light just before the Marion County line and turn right onto Hwy 744 (which is Spurlington RD).

After you turn onto Spurlington Rd, turn left on the second road - Parrallel RD.

There is only one house on that road. Park on the right side.

I would let the homeowners know why you are there as a courtesy since you are on their property.

On the far right of their house is a path which takes you to the tunnel. I am thinking the tunnel is about 1/2 mile long.

It's generally very muddy, so be prepared. It is definitely worth the time and trip.

Hope this helps.

Have fun and be careful.

s/Amy Pike

Haunted Spurlington Train Tunnel in snow time



2010-01-07 - Spurlington, Taylor Co., KY . "This picture was taken in the last couple of years of the tunnel. One of the guys I work with took it," writes Amy Pike. "I thought they were great. If you have never been, it's a great experience. It's really popular around Halloween due to the legendary tale of Nancy Bass. It is said that Jessie James's crew hid gold somewhere in or around the tunnel. They killed a local witch (so they thought back then. -CM), Nancy Bass, and buried her body on top of their treasure. If you disturb their gold and Nancy, the legend goes, you will be haunted."
