Title: A couple of antique tunnels
Post by: butch on November 02, 2013, 10:20:30 PM
Had the chance to get some Rathole time in this afternoon.  Here are trains passing both the north and south portals of the abandoned CNO&TP Tunnel 19.

And with the weather moving in, I ended up exploring what is now the Franklin Industrial Minerals Railroad tunnel; Tennessee Central back in the day.

Here is a photo from inside the portal of CNO&TP T23 at Nemo; this time of year the passing trains can be seen through the trees.  Also the marker from CNO&TP T26 at Oakdale; the 26 is clear, but I can't figure out what's on the stone under it.  Sort of looks like a 13...
