Montana Tunnels
A list of surviving Great Northern tunnels in Montana (in alphabetical order).
Flathead Tunnel
Location: East Portal
Pictures taken: July 29th, 2000
Remarks: The East Portal houses the air cleaning fans and has
a door that closes the tunnel off to allow the tunnel to
be 'flushed'. In this picture the door just opens to let
an eastbound train through. The headlight of the lead
engine is already visible.
Marias Pass: Tunnel #3
View from US2 above
Paola Creek looking
north west.
Location: Paola Creek
West of Essex, MT
Pictures taken: July 30th, 2000
Remarks: This rather distant view of the East Portal of Tunnel #3
on Marias Pass shows how difficult it sometimes is to
get to locations.
