The Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway had a tunnel carved through Ely’s Peak, with excavation beginning in August 1910. The DWP decided constructing a tunnel would be better than constructing a railway over or around Ely's Peak. The excavation crew included 120 men – 60 on each side of the mountain – and these crews would meet in the middle a year later. On August 15, 1911, the tunnel was ready for train tracks to be laid. The tunnel lies on a 7 degree curve, is about 520 ft long, and 18 ft wide. In 1912, the railway finally reached Duluth, allowing it to then connect with several other US Railways. This tunnel was used heavily up until 1996, when Canadian National Railway took over DWP, and the tunnel was abandoned.
