NNG Bootlegger Tunnel at Moab Utah
| May 01, 2021 09:29PM |
I do apologise for getting way off NG discussion but you guys are the best and can possibly answer a question.
I saw with interest the Rocky Mountaineer proposal to run from Denver to Moab UT, so I had to investigate what railroad facilities went thru Moab and discovered the Cane Creek Branch, but this google image of the north portal of Bootlegger Tunnel just doesn't look right, it appears as if the portal has collapsed but the exposed tracks don't look right for that, I am assuming it is one of those google maps rifts that happen now and then.
Can anybody shed any light on the north portal and put my inquisitive mind to rest?
