[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MichaelSol</i> <br /><br />I think what was meant is that daylighting would have had to have been for entertainment value because in this particular instance, the tunnel was extremely dry, the rock extremely hard, it was relatively short, there was no timber cribbing or lining. <br /> <br />If ever there was a tunnel for which daylighting made no sense, Boylston was it. <br /> <br />Best regards, Michael Sol <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I take it then that after the wires came down, either the length of a little less than 1/2 mile did not affect the O2 supply of mid-train helpers, or Milwaukee never had occassion to use pushers and midtrain helpers here after de-electrification? (You may have answered in the Milwaukee thread, but I ain't going back through that compilation!) <br /> <br />BTW, did Boylston have a grade westbound or eastbound, or was it essentially flat?
