Steamtown yesterday released two more images of David Flickwir's machinery working on construction of the Lackawanna's New Jersey Cut Off in 1910. These two show excavations at the east end of Roseville Tunnel (about two miles east of Andover, NJ.)

Wilipedia has a brief article on the Roseville Tunnel. If you check that article, be sure to check out the last of the two "External Links," which is called "Aerial View of Roseville Tunnel."

I wonder what happened to the fortune obviously made by Roanoker David Flickwir, from all the massive railroad construction projects he was involved in? 

Whitepages lists only nine Flickwirs in this country presently, all of them in California. The Social Security Death Index shows only six Flickwirs, all of them in California.
