Tunnel at Whittier

[framer]

I thought some might be interested in seeing the tunnel we have to go through to get to Whittier. This is a one lane tunnel that shared with train, buses and cars.

This picture brings back memories of our Alaska Cruise. We were on a Princess bus coming from the lodge, when we approached the tunnel there was a lot of traffic. A car got stuck in the tunnel and everyone had to wait for the car to be removed. The ship had to wait for us.

Thank you for the pictures

Wow! Even though I read the whole one way thing, still a little surprised how narrow it is. I've never been a fan of tunnels. Like bridges, they freak me out a bit. Thanks for the pic! Will be trying this tunnel out next year on our cruise. :eek:

Love these pictures. This is one place where I think using a Princess transfer is the way to go. It is worth the cost for me.

I'll experience it for the first time this summer. It's 2.5 miles long. I'm not a fan of tunnels, but they're better than tall bridges.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I could not picture it looking like that. :eek:

I arrived by Army ship August 1957 & was amazed at the sight of Ice glaciers to my right & the same tunnel that I believe allowed only the train thru which took us to Fairbanks. After spending 2 winters in Alaska I have no desire to return even though my wife keeps asking to go.
