Circa 1900. "Nay Aug Tunnel, Scranton, Pennsylvania." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Photographic Company. View full size.
I would love to hear this loco roaring out of the tunnel!
This photo shows the original tunnel, carved out in 1854 and still in operation. In 1905, a second tunnel was opened south of this one, but it was damaged during a 1955 hurricane and abandoned for train use. Modern views show it being slowly taken over by nature and the elements.
It's going to be really smoky with that low roof. Looks like they put a concrete (reinforced?) slab into the rock, too.
