The Belmont Tunnel: Nebraska's Only Railroad Tunnel
On our drive home from Wind Cave, Noelle happened to look something up on her phone and noticed an abandoned railroad tunnel outside the town of Crawford. It was Nebraska's only railroad tunnel and being curious, we just had to have a look.
We took a short detour off of highway 71 and headed east to the small town of Belmont. After a short period of confusion, we followed a railroad access road into an old rail cut and found the tunnel.
To our surprise, we were able to drive through the tunnel,
though I'm not sure we did so legally. Noelle and I got out to explore on foot a little bit
and found some of the most interesting street art I've ever seen.
We then turned around, drove back through the tunnel and scared an owl as we exited on our way back out.
It was an interesting adventure. For more information Belmont Tunnel.
