Tunnel

Tunnel

Two large tunnels now serve as a path for a small, murky stream.

I have to say you are the king of perspective. Your shots are close to perfect. You have a knack for getting in the right place to line things up to make a spectacular story out of a single shot. If I had a hat I would take it off to you. :-)

the stone arch....and that which is the smooth concret do not seem to be a match for being constructed at the same time....could the arch have been free standing at one time...

Any idea why that wire is running across like that? It looks like the kind of wire I use for electric fences, but I can't see it being very useful at that height...

I happen to know why that stone arch is there,if you look out the Aqueduct(one of the arches)back from where you came, you'll see a stone bridge(near the Dinosaur BBQ,Ex.Lehigh Valley Station) before the subway was built,there was a stone bridge going over the Canal bed(now the subway and I-490/590). By The Way,I-490 WAS the eastern end of the Subway, that 1 mile section of tunnel is the only remaining portion of the subway that is not filled in or converted. Most of the "Subway" was un-enclosed, and so in todays terms would be a light rail system.

Interesting observation, ChaserOne. I love learning about the old canal systems. So you think this is part of an old aquaduct from an old canal? Neat. That would put it in the area of the 1820's to up to the civil war in age, before trains were the chosen form of transport.
