Western Railroad Discussion > Threading Through The TunnelDate: 10/02/15 20:56 Threading Through The Tunnel Author: walstib An eastbound Union Pacific manifest threads through a tunnel at Castle Rock, Utah, today.
In order to make using my drone faster and easier, I devised a docking platform, which has proved invaluable on my current road trip. If you would like to read more about the docking platform, check out this topic over in the Railfan Technology forum: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?9,3857712  Date: 10/02/15 21:12 Re: Threading Through The Tunnel Author: Fizzboy7 If ever there was a tunnel that could be daylighted, that sure looks like the one.

Looking at the hill above the tunnel it appears they may have started doing that at one time and then quit for some reason.

Likely the tunnel is there because they'd have to cut way too far back to make stable sides.
