Rubble and splintered timber fill the floor of this stone-arched tunnel, a detail that sets it apart from the usual views of working rail lines on the gallery's railroad board. Tunnels like this were built by hand in the 19th century, with masonry arches meant to outlast the trains that passed through them. Once a line was abandoned, neglect and collapsed debris often left such passages sealed off or half-buried, and the image records that quiet afterlife of an engineering project that was once central to the railroad network.
