Here is one of the many beautifully constructed tunnels and culverts built along the Enola Low-Grade Line. Most of them are entirely hidden from view. However, this tunnel once had dozens of cars driving through every day until traffic was routed around it. The tunnel’s height limited access for fire trucks and other large vehicles.
