As I think about it, one of the most famous shoo-flies was on Nevada's Virginia & Truckee RR. A timber-lined tunnel on their main track burned and collapsed. A shoo-fly was built around the steep hillside to bypass the tunnel. It was to be "temporary", but wound up being used as the main line to the end of V&T operations.
