Railroad cut commonly identified as the site where Phineas Gage had his famous tamping-rod-through-the-skull accident on September 13, 1848. (An account says he was taken 3/4 miles back to town and this cut is both the deepest cut in the area and the 3/4 mile mark from the main intersection.)
This shot is looking northwest, taken from the woods by Cavendish Gulf Road. There is no need to walk along the tracks to see the road cut. May 11, 2009.
