Now That's a Railway Tunnel!
Posted by seppburgh2 on Sunday, March 1, 2015 7:30 PM

On Sunday, March 1, 2015, MSN posted a picture story titled "Beautiful Tree Tunnels from around the world".  The following link is for the Tunnel of Love in Klevan, Ukraine.  Now that is a railroad tunnel!  Anyone know of other RR tunnels in green?

Mischief Penn Central used to have a few (unintentional) ones on some lightly-used branch lines . . . Smile, Wink & Grin

All too well.  And in the fall, all the leaves fall on the rails, making them slicker than snot.

A fair part of our trip from Utica to Thendara  runs through tree tunnels.  Or something very close.

I have a picture of a similar "tunnel" on an IHB industrial lead just north of the point where it crosses Wolf Lake.  This is within the Chicago city limits.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
