    I kept waiting for a ghost train to come rolling through like on Ghostbusters lol. I think those bats were cute little guys, just snoozing. Fantastic video Chris.

    I was in that area for work for 2 years, I replaced the power line just south of those tunnels. I walked through the tunnels alone on a Saturday. Hopefully you got to see the Nicholson bridge. After the bridge was built these tunnels taken out of service and the right of way sold to the state and became US11.
