A 4-4-0 American travels through the west end of Cape Horn Tunnel (Public Commons). While the tunnel was built in 1907 and 10 wheelers were in common use at this time, it is thought that the American was used for railway construction.

Above: The tunnel shortly after completion. The cement abutments would come later.

Left: A farm in 1877 before the tunnel was cut. Look out on the river and look for a pinnacle in the water,to the right is where the tunnel will be built.
