Description
My wife and I drove about 45 miles north to see if the leaves had changed any more than they have in our area. They hadn't. We found directions on the Internet for a waterfall called the Freedom Falls and headed for that. We never made it to the falls but we found the Rockland Tunnel which is 2,868 feet (874 meters) long. It was built for the Allegheny Valley Railroad but now it has been turned into a Rails to Trails. It was quite dark and we didn't have a flashlight. My wife got claustrophobic so we turned around.
This tunnel was built by men working two shifts, six days a week, 10-12 hours a day for 17 cents an hour. Most of them were European immigrants.
