A Northbound engine is crossing the river and is about to enter tunnel #4 in this vintage view
E.M. Bell:
Looking out the South portal of #4. Southbound trains would exit the tunnel and immediately cross the Cumberland River
E.M. Bell:
An interesting fissure inside #4 pours water into the tunnel. The details like this you can find are amazing!
E.M. Bell:
Looking North at the South end of #4. Recent road construction above has caused a lot of roof fall in the past few years
E.M. Bell:
NS 143 crosses the Cumberland River Bridge, as seen from the South portal of CNO&TP tunnel #4
E.M. Bell:
North end of tunnel #4. Southbound trains would plunge into darkness here, and emerge over the Cumberland River on the other end
