In 1945, Northern Pacific replaced the tunnel with the current 3,015-foot-long tunnel. You can clearly see the portal of the original tunnel here, now fenced off and largely covered in dirt and foliage. I do not know exactly why the replaced the tunnel...if you have information on this, feel free to leave it in the comments!

When a coal train such as this one is working to make it over the summit, the tunnel quickly fills with a lot of exhaust. It is not a place you'd want to be caught when a train came charging through.

This westbound BNSF coal train has just about made it to the top of Bozeman Pass (note the sign trackside that says "summit"). Evidence of just how hard the engines are working is apparent as a plume of exhaust accompanies the units upon existing the west portal.
