Beautiful trails and paths
These pictures are of the tunnel leading to the Texas and Pacific Railroad depot in Marshall, TX. The depot sits between the tracks where the lines split to head either North or East and the builders decided it would be too dangerous to have passengers crossing the tracks so they built a tunnel under the East/West lines. At some point in the last decade the elevator at the street entrance was added for wheelchair access. I could not get a decent picture of the end of the tunnel from the depot side because they are working on a new sidewalk that curves around the the first floor/ground level and boarding area and have much of the grounds fenced off. The tunnel is normally this dark. In the third picture you can see that the light is out. It is rare to see them all working at the same time. Also, what you see on the ceiling is not a crack but where something has leaked through and left a trail where it dried.

We had something like that in Canton, OH in the '40's. West bound was outside the depot door, east bound was accessed through
a tunnel under the west bound tracks.

Even though that tunnel has been there for more than a century I sometimes get a little jumpy when I am in it and a train goes by overhead. That doesn't stop me from going through it though. The depot is a great place for taking pictures.

My old home town had a paved walk way from the north bound side to the south bound, right across the tracks of the Pennsy high speed line Philly to NY. Two woman have been killed there that I know of.
