The Tunnel

The first of many eerie things about Whittier--a one lane shared railroad/road tunnel, the only road in to Whittier, and the second longest highway tunnel in North America at 2.5 miles long. One may drive one way for 15 minutes an hour, the other way for 15 minutes an hour, and not at all the other 30 minutes of that hour (reserved for railroad traffic). It closes altogether at night.
