A look through the tunnel at the summit of Tennessee Pass as seen from the top of the signal at the west end of the siding. This view should be obscured, but since the signal head itself has been removed, it is a clear shot!

Here it is! The very top of Tennessee Pass and, at the time of the idling of Tennessee Pass, the highest Class 1 rail line in the United States at 10,221 feet above sea level. The tunnel is about a half mile long and looks - from this shot - to be clear of any major obstructions.
