Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR
Todd, they took the tunnel out of service when they widened the other one for the second track. that was when they made the track to accommodate the double stacks, and I am guessing around 1995, I'm sure someone knows for sure and will post. I heard, and it could be true, that the track was left in place through the other tunnel so it could be opened in a hurry if it was needed. It doesn't have clearance for double stacks. It was cheaper to increase the width and height on just the one tunnel.
