The Famous Rockland Tunnel


In 1867 The Allegany Railroad was built to transport coal known as Black gold to the world. In the city of Rockland Pennsylvania, the railroad once took a 4-mile detour around the Wood Hill Mountain. This detour known as the Wood hill loop was plagued with landslides, ice jams and sharp turns. In 1913, it was decide to cut a 2,865 foot hole thought the mountain to speed up the train trips that lead from Pittsburg to Buffalo.

The dangerous task of cutting a hole through the mountain was done using two 12 hour shifts at 17 cents per man hour. Some locals believe that that several workers died while digging the tunnel and according to “Ghost hunters or chasers”, their ghost orbs can be seen in digital photos. For the normal IQ population, these ghost orbs are really water droplet light reflections.

In the tunnel, the temperature is usually 20 degrees colder and you sometimes see a mist or fog. The entire tunnel is lined with 6 foot alcoves for the pedestrians to hide from the loud trains. Some locals state, that several of these alcoves were hand dug to create hidden underground rooms for moonshine, convicts, and even play rooms for country folk children. You may be able to find these hidden cavities using thermal imaging, or laser surface infrared thermometers due to these areas having cooler temperatures then the tunnel temperatures. “Ghost hunters and chasers” call these cooler surface areas, ghost or sprit exit port holes.

These rail road tracks were abandoned and the National Parks converted the tunnel into a walking or bike path.

Today the walls are lined with hip hop, mainstream, self expression graffiti that mimics the graffiti in our economically challenged nieghbourghs. As you walk thought the tunnel, you hear water dripping from holes, cracks, deteriorated mortar joints, and from calcium stalactites. If you listen very hard, you can hear occasion bat squeak, foot steps and noises that resemenble people softly mumbling. The ghost hunter and chasers call this paranormal activity. GIGGLE. For now, the Rockland Tunnel is just an abandoned water dripping tunnel with armature graffiti. Thank you, this is Marko Vovk from <a href="http://
