Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1915 — Tunnel Through Selkirks. [ARTICLE]

Tunnel Through Selkirks.

The Canadian Pacific railroad is now engaged in the constructon of a double track tunnel five miles long through the Selkirk mountains at Rogers Pass, B. C. This will be the longest railroad tunnel in America, exceeding in length the Hoosac tunnel of the Boston & Maine railroad by about fourteen hundred' feet. In addition to its unusual length, it is of special interest because of the fact that it is being driven from a pioneer tunnfel parallel to and entirely outside of the limits of the final tunnel section. The tunnel is a part of a line change of 18.6 miles. —Railway Age Gazette.
