Summary
| Description |
English: Queensbury tunnel Queensbury tunnel (2501yds) is one of the longest and deepest railway tunnels in England.
Queensbury was on the G.N.R line serving the Northern industrial towns of Bradford, Halifax & Keighley. It was built in 1879, passenger services ceased in 1955. A big problem in the tunnel's history was giant icicles forming on cold winter nights. A steam engine used to be parked here overnight to prevent this in later years. The line used to be known as the Alpine route due to its hilly nature. For many more pictures see https://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/sets/72157600232087942/detail/ |
