Langsville Tunnel Spur Sparked Boom Town Growth
Langsville in Meigs County transformed from a quiet village to a bustling railroad town after an 800 foot tunnel was built to straighten tracks in 1906 1908. The J B Lindsay Co recruited nearly 200 workers from the south and migrants, with boarding houses stores saloons and a post office rising. A fatal shooting and other feuds marked the era as the first train passed through on August 17 1908. The town later faded back to quiet life but local shops persisted with long running family jeweler traditions and ties to Ohio University students.
