#218. Tunnel #3 Above Cisco

 

HISTORIC:

Shearer p. 245 “between Tamarack and Cisco, Red Spur and Trap Spur are passed by tunnels No. 4 and No. 3.” 
 
Crofutt p. 164 “[from Tamarack] among the hills, through the snow-sheds and tunnels, we speed on for three miles, when we arrive at Cisco”
 

MODERN:

Hart’s photograph captures the raw appearance of the early tunnel, which has since been expanded to allow the passage of larger trains and a double track.
