The photograph, taken in 1965, beautifully captures the west end of the tunnel, showcasing its impressive stone construction and grand archway. As you gaze at this image, you can almost feel the rich history that emanates from within these walls. Imagine standing at the entrance of this portal over a century ago, witnessing steam locomotives chugging through on their way to distant destinations. The door beckons you to explore further into a world where railroads were lifelines connecting communities across vast distances. The mid-19th century ambiance is palpable as you take in every detail – from the weathered stones that have stood against time to the meticulously crafted arch framing your view.
