[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by flint creek mp23 And, not all west side trestles are totally intact as Hull Creek trestle washed out in 1986 because of a flood of debris caused by illegal logging. Today there is a replacement span in place between the remaining trestle towers, but it's not heavy enough for a train. [/quote] Assuming the environmentalists were dealt with, replacing the span with one suitable to support a train would be technology simple viz the early 1900s and not that costly. [quote]QUOTE: The Milwaukee didn't intend to double track Snoqualmie Tunnel. This was told to me by Cecil Geelhart, former Cedar Falls Roadmaster, who also mentioned the west end dual portal was built to carry Portal Creek over the top of the tunnel and far enough away from the track to keep it from ever causing erosion problems. [/quote] That's the first I've heard as a reason why the west portal has two entrances. Sounds plausible to me.
