Hoosac Tunnel Enlarged to Take Largest Railroad Cars
The Hoosac Tunnel was enlarged by the Boston and Maine Railroad to permit passage of the biggest cars registered by U S railroads. The five mile bore now allows two way movement of large cars on both tracks, saving 24 to 36 hours on shipments. The work, completed in 3 months 20 days without traffic interruption, involved blasting and bridge clearances, with 11 000 volt power for electric locomotives and careful coordination to maintain the regular service through the tunnel.
