I don't think they have any tunnels on this line.  It is a long,
difficult continuous climb but it is more along the lines of 200 miles
of rolling hills at a continuous incline up to 7,000 feet.

None of the route that I am aware of is through areas where tunnels
would be that necessary.

The other interesting thing is that if you look at some of the photos of
the yards

the track spacing seems somewhat wider than necessary.  Maybe someone
had the idea that someday conversion to standard gauge might happen?
