Hoosac Tunnel 2009

On 12.5.09, a co-worker and I went to check out both ends of the Hoosac Tunnel.

The Hoosac Tunnel is a railroad tunnel in the Northern Berkshire towns of Florida and North Adams owned by Guilford Transportation. It runs under the Hoosac range of mountains for a total length of 25,031 feet or 4.74 miles. It took a good 25 years to build and incurred several delays and out right stalls. It took 195 lives during construction, and has taken 30 or more since completion.
