    I’ve been through this tunnel many times. There used to be some GREAT Jeep trails around there. I actually crossed that creek in my Jeep one time when it was flooding, and I should have turned around. Water above my door openings.

Right when I got there the train was being put together and almost ready to make a couple trips across the 6 mile branch to ship some coal out. I got some really unique video. The Big Eagle Railroad.

    We, Frederick County Maryland, have a similar tunnel. It is corrugated steel, no river and goes under a road not a railroad. You did not blow your horn while going through. We always tap the horn before starting through to let anybody coming in the other way know and inside just for the fun. Interstate highways are boring but back roads are always unique.

    Is the tunnel cut through soil only or did they cut through limestone? I wouldn't really trust something cut through soil, but a limestone tunnel should be stable.
    I'm a little surprised that no one clears the culverts so that they'll take the water again. That would help preserve the road.

    You would think maybe a local concrete business would offer to come down with some of their left over concrete and add some to the crossing there rather than wash it out in the ditches like their truck drivers do all the time. Wouldn’t take much to make that section nice and preserve some history. Get some high school kids to spend time painting the graffiti maybe would help draw some tourist to come to your community to see the tunnel as well. I’m disabled but would try to help rather than run my mouth. Pretty bad shape though. Just pitiful to see that in such a mess. City needs to be putting more attention towards it if they want it to attract more visitors to the city.
