not sure when the orig tunnel was built (late 1800's maybe?), but they left the first timber framed tunnel and put this concrete one over it later in '49. i climbed up to the roof and could see the orig tunnel threw a bunch of holes. don't ya just love (NOT) the fairy little graffitti some loser did on our history.....
when they stopped using the line, for safety's sake (?) they tried to blow the mountain down over the tunnel, which didn't really work so they filled up the tunnel instead, again for safety, their theory they will never be liable if the tunnel falls in on some poor slob walking threw it. now, you have to do an extremely dangerous climb over the tunnel, which i guess they figure is safer (?)


as you can see, extremely steep and loose ground every step
going up beside the tunnel
