The Simpson Tunnel so named for the Simpson Farm it passed under was a railroad tunnel originally built in 1903 by U.S. Steel and subsequently used by the Dunlap Creek branch of the Monongahela Railway. The tunnel was made of stone with a brick arch construction. The line was utilized both to serve coal mines and coke works in the area and to interchange with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s Fairmont Morgantown and Pittsburgh line and the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Coal Lick Run branch.
