The Art Nouveau style of the James River Railway Bridge speaks of a time when railroads the #1 form of transportation. Not merely a utilitarian rail trestle getting you from point A to point B but a statement of permanence and grandeur.

The CSX double track concrete bridge was built jointly by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad in 1919.

The Richmond Vampire - W. W. Pool 1913

The urban legend began soon after a collapse of the C&O Railroad Tunnel beneath the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. The cave-in buried several men and a train on October 2, 1925.

The legend tells of a blood covered creature with jagged teeth and skin hanging from its muscular body that emerged from the cave-in and raced toward the James River. Pursued by a group of men, the creature took refuge in Hollywood Cemetery, where it disappeared in a mausoleum built into a hillside bearing the name W.W. Pool.

The men and their train, including the steam engine remain entombed in the now sealed tunnel to this day.
