The shortest tunnel on the east slope of the divide is Tunnel 29. It is only 78 feet long, an the Zephyr is just about to quickly pop in to and out of the tunnel. Toward the left side of the frame, you can see rock that is quite a bit more red than the rest. this was once the location of Tunnel 28, which was daylighted (blown up, essentially) many, many decades ago due to frequent cave-ins.
