ANDREWS GEYSER by Stephen R. Little Book PDF Summary

What was that?!? DID I JUST SEE A GEYSER? Wait ... I just saw another one! No, that’s not possible. We’re on a train in the mountains, and ... There!! I SAW A THIRD ONE!! WHAT IS GOING ON ?!? For almost 100 years, passengers rode trains from all over, going all over. When they rode the train on the mountain between Old Fort and Asheville in western North Carolina, they got a very special treat. Nestled at WNCRR mile marker 116, just below the series of six tunnels, is Andrews Geyser. The curvy tracks allowed several sneak previews, first on one side of the train, and then on the other! For decades, it has puzzled, bewildered and delighted people of all ages. What is it? ...When was it built?....Who was Andrew?....Why is it here?
