WMSR Tunnle Question

peter allen 072518peter allen 072518OGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad's , WMSR, announcement got me thinking about the tunnel in Frostburg.  After much internet searching, I got nothing and looking at my books I still cant find the answer I am looking for.
So can anyone tell me, what is the name of the tunnel at the end of the WMSR run in Frostburg?

How long is it?

Where does it go and end?

I am assuming it could connect with the new leased line, but I am also guessing it is to old/ in need of repair to be of use. But then again maybe its not?

Thanks in advance if you have any answers to these questions.

It cannot connect because there are homes and structures that now sit on the mainline. They would have to be demolished, and I don't think that would work out very well.

Also here's a screenshot of satellite showing the tunnel portals. I think in railroad terms it's actually East and West portals.
