Tunnel at Quitaque Haul Road Through Rocky Bluff
A Fort Worth and Denver Railroad tunnel near Quitaque Texas, blasted in 1927, spans about 800 feet under sandstone. It enabled steady freight traffic, required mule power in construction, and later adjustments lowered the floor and replaced rails. Locals recall its remote site, and officials say it may be the only such railway tunnel in Texas.
