This tunnel, which allows access to the town of Whittier-Alaska, is the longest combined rail and highway use tunnel in North America (2.5 miles long through a mountain). The tunnel is only one, single lane and allows passage of trains as well as cars. The direction of travel is reversed every 1/2 hour. Notice the railroad tracks in the roadway.
- I created this blog so that other people could catch a glimpse of the Alaska that I am fortunate enough to see every day. My time in Alaska may be limited, and there is beauty in most everything here. It would be a shame if it were never shared.
