The Congressional bunker was shut down in the 1990s (when its existence stopped being a secret). There was a recent TV program (IIRC one of the 'Modern Marvels' series) that described it.

Amtrak 50 and 51 stop at White Sulphur - Greenbrier is across the street from the depot. BTW, the bunker was a tourist attraction until recently. IIRC, the local paper said it was being shut down for awhile for construction at the hotel.

work safe

...Knew about the bunker and I caught the TV program about it not too long ago. Interesting. Yes, History channel....Discovery channel....TLC channel.....Those types of channels have the best programs. Can anyone resist Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. on Orange County Choppers....I don't even care for motorcycles but love that program....and Overhaulen is another great program...The designer on that program is superb with the designs he comes up with...and his free hand drawing is unbelievable...!
