What better a way to cover a hole in the wall but with a tunnel. Next for your viewing is the town of Tunnel City. Tunnel City is on a section that is 2' wide and 3' long with a 1' leg on the left side. The Milw. Rd. and the C&NW had tunnels and stations here. This was tunnel #1 on the way west for Milw. tunnel #2 is somewhere in Montana. Here is an overview picture.

Some Tunnel City fun facts,
Tunnel City was named before any railroads made it this far.
The Milw had a two track mainline and a single track tunnel, the C&NW was just the opposite
The exact date excapes me but the C&NW tunnel collapsed and instead of opening it back up they just put in a switch and bought right of way using the Milw. tunnel.
Urban ledgend has it that there are two, three deck auto carriers full of new Ramblers still inside
