Tunnel

This tunnel in East Dubuque IL is 851ft long through the bluff and comes out on the Iowa side to that rotating railroad bridge I have posted pictures of. I have never taken a picture from this side before. It is on the BNSF tracks.

A very classic looking tunnel. It reminds me of the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado when I photographed it in 1967 with an F-unit exiting it.

Thank you for viewing and commenting. I was waiting for a train because it is a pretty busy track. But it started to rain.

Some of my best pictures have been shot in the rain. Hang in there!

I have only one print, and perhaps the 4" x 5" Kodacolor negative somewhere in my collection of the Moffat Tunnel to which I referred. If I find it, I will scan and post it. I have posted some of my more recent photos in the Cajon Pass on UHH previously. Here are a few:

Your shots are stunning. I really enjoyed them. I have a few shots of big too, but not as impressive since it was in town.

Enjoyed looking at the details.
