   I don't think they have any tunnels on this line.  It is a long,   
   difficult continuous climb but it is more along the lines of 200 miles   
   of rolling hills at a continuous incline up to 7,000 feet.

   None of the route that I am aware of is through areas where tunnels   
   would be that necessary.   
      
   The other interesting thing is that if you look at some of the photos of   
   the yards   
   http://www.noarail.com/members2/v/John+ll/Working+Steam/EAR02.jpg.html   
   the track spacing seems somewhat wider than necessary.  Maybe someone   
   had the idea that someday conversion to standard gauge might happen?
