The Vale Tunnel is a railway tunnel south of Raytown, Missouri in the Kansas City metropolitan area. It was built by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad in 1903-1904, and became the final tunnel of four to be built on the entire Rock Island railroad, all of which were in Missouri. The tunnel is part of the Kansas City to St. Louis, Missouri line, and travels beneath Bannister Road. In 1980, the Rock Island was liquidated in court and the tunnel and line across Missouri was eventually sold to the St. Louis Southwestern Railway.
