Remarks & Notes

Going southbound the old "Rathole" crossed the south fork of the Green River on an impressive trestle and followed Tunnel Creek up a steep grade to one of the infamous tunnels that gave the line its nickname. The tunnel is gone and daylight reigns but the grade is still there. The innovative Triple Crown is having a hard tug.
