West Portal: (Satellite)
East Portal: (Satellite)
B&S = Buffalo & Susquehanna
The tunnel is 401.5' (122.4m) long. [centralpahistory, this reference provides a history of the B&S.]
One of the portals has the date.

The other one does not have the date. This view shows that the tunnel has a slight curve.

This image makes it easier to determine where the portals were than the current Google Maps satelilte image.

Three different sources, including this reel, show both portals but none of them say which one is west (geographic south) and which is east (geographic north). But images of the portal without a date show that there is a slight curve in the tunnel at the other end.

And topo maps show that the slight curve is at the west end. So the portal with the date is the West Portal.
