Tunnel info

[AmtrakPDX]

Can anyone help with info on this tunnel? Number? Length? Year bored?

Also is there a list of tunnels and their data that's accessible on the web?

TIA for any help.

It may be given on the SPV's railroad atlas for California.

This tunnel is on the Shasta Lake line relocation that was done in relation to the construction of Shasta dam which flooded the original line. You are a few miles north of the Pit River bridge, which makes the Kate Shelly bridge look like a trestle. It is about 400 feet high, but much of this is hidden by the lake.

the employe timetable does not give a list of tunnels. You are about at milepost 268 to 270. That is, something around 10 miles north of Redding CA on UP's Roseville Area Valley Subdivision.
