8th st tunnel!

Just got back from the 8th st tunnel. WOW! doesnt even say it. Its showing signs of natural cave formations in something man made. I have a tone of pics, but I don't want to burn up all the HD on this server, so look at http://www.gothsto.../UE/?gallery=8thst

If a mod tells me to put them up here, not prob,, I just don't want to cause a problem. I'll also have video up by tomorrow. The trip went pretty well, but the lights in the lower tunnel don't work, or we didn't find the right switch, so it was pretty dark. I need to get one of the 3 million candle power lights. Was disappointed by the graffiti and trash. I filled my backpack trying to clean up after someone. It was worth it though! I got back late because I had locked my keys in my car, so I'm beat. Thats it for now, I'll add more info later.

Posted by gothstoneJust got back from the 8th st tunnel. WOW!
Your photo 31 looks like the trolley board with an ear still attached to it. The ear clamped the trolley wire (which has been cut off form either end) and the board prevented the trolley pole from touching the live wire and the damp roof at the same time. (The same thing is used in buildings and under bridges.) So, I guess this is the old cable car, later trolley car tunnel in KC? But, where's the track?

Any indication who added the lighting? Or, why? You had said that the tunnel entrance (probably because of the posting of entryway prohibition).

The company who owens the building on top of the tunnel rediscovered the tunnel quite by accident when digging for their new building. They decided to preserve the tunnel, and they added the lights. Probably so they could show it to their VIP's.
