Tennessee Pass Railroad Tunnel
Posted January 23, 2009, by Sean (spf150 [at] gmail [dot] com)

The Tennessee Pass line was last officially used August of 1997. The UPRR filed for abandonment and proceded to withdraw it shortly thereafter. Although they don't use the line it is maintained somewhat and hyrail trucks travel the line every so often.
