"The Ashland and Princess Tunnel project located in Ashland, KY was awarded to LRL in order to improve the vertical clearance by rock notching, arch liner removal and replacement with steel fibered reinforced shotcrete and rock dowels. LRL also installed temporary erosion controls and storm water management as required by local and state regulations. LRL also removed and replaced the track ballast throughout the tunnels and surrounding area."
[Note the 2012 date. The construction work tore out this portal. That is why Steve's photos below looks different.] |
Using Facebook comments, Steve confirmed this is the tunnel in his photos below.

posted seven photos with the comment: "This tunnel runs for a very short distance (maybe a 1/4 mile) under the streets of Ashland, KY. I took these pics on March 5, 2017. At that time there was a CSX train that would run maybe once a week through it. Not sure if it is still in use."
[According to some comments, the interior looks weird because they exploited a natural cave.]
