Nostalgia & History > Ben's CanyonDate: 05/15/06 12:46 Ben's Canyon Author: schmo Some pix from Franklin Cyn.
B39-8 7400 exiting tunnel 2 with a 199 train. 5810 leading an intermodal at Pine Hole. 5954 at Christie in the very dry winter of 1986-7. --Steve Schmollinger    Date: 05/15/06 16:59 Re: Ben's Canyon Author: Evan_Werkema Interesting to see Tunnel 2 with its original cross section. The second view is where tunnel 4 was up until the 1930's.

> Wow, Evan, I didn't realize there WAS a tunnel 4. > Thanx for the info! John Harder sent me this Ralph Demoro photo from 1939, showing the first train through the new cut in 1939, with abandoned tunnel 4 in the background, along with the concrete highway bridge that still exists. Sadly, the old wooden overpass Demoro was standing on, and which lasted until just a few years ago, is no longer there. This photo also appears in _Valley Division Vignettes_.  |
