Snoqualmie Train Tunnel - Abandoned Train Tunnels on Waymarking.com

The 2.3-mile tunnel was built between 1908 and 1911 by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad and carried people and freight through the Cascades for over seventy years. It was the longest electric railroad in the world. Now the tracks are gone, but the railroad's right-of-way forms part of the popular 113-mile Iron Horse Trail, which is managed by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission.

In 1980 the Milwaukee Road railroad ceased operation. Its old facilities still cross the Cascade Mountains just east of Seattle. Recently, the right of way has been turned into a linear state park called the Iron Horse State Trail. It is also referred to as the John Wayne Memorial trail.
