Progress of the Hoosac Tunnel Work
A Boston traveler reports the Hoosac Tunnel progress about twenty feet weekly with day and night shifts at the eastern end, and limited force at the western end. Wood and mule power form a rail within the tunnel for chips to build a dam across the Deerfield River, supplying water power, while a second mule pumps fresh air. The roof drops a gentle stream of water, and Irish laborers fill nearby shanties as thunderlike reverberations greet visitors.
