Hmm, At the Baltimore Society of Model Engineers there was built a tunnel viewable through plexiglass in which a station was built. I was young then and cannot remember what it was exactly I would imagine it to still be there. Regarding the Chicago Storm Drain project, that has been ongoing since 1970, I watched on the History Channel and they did use conveyer belts to carry the dig out and above ground. I believe it was about 2 miles long from the borer. There is no reason why anyone cannot model some form of underground. I believe in Baltimore there is a Tunnel (which had a bad fire last couple of years) that carried trains in and out of the city. Theoratically one can have a tunnel next to a built up area and just run trains to and from staging there. The visitor will always be curious to find out where the tunnel begins and ends. As a side note, we have "cities" that are completely underground in the USA. You would drive a tractor trailer with cargo completly underground and deliver it below the surface of the earth. For me it was alien to see limestone, granite etc all around instead of usualy above ground view. I believe there were rail cars there as well. Some of these places support the Nation in time of war and also provides good logistics in time of peace with out the expense and visibilty of buildings, real estate etc. Good Luck Lee
