  this is about the same size as the tunnel in the section of the CP main line I worked on near Revelstoke, BC. There is barely enough room for you to press against the wall when a train comes through. Spent many an hour in there in winter chopping &%$*&%^ ice!

  You didn't have ice breaker cars? Usually old gons with a steel framework for busting up the ice and filled with concrete for weight.
