I looked at this topo map before I looked at Bridge Hunter and that was when I realized that the tunnel was dug by Stock Creek.

| Ron Flanary posted An earlier frame in the film sequence from a scene posted before: This is a "C" train eastbound at Natural Tunnel in October 1987. The four units up front were all still painted for Southern Railway, but the four mid-trains were all in NS paint. At the time, there was no chairlift or walkway to allow visitors to access this point. You could switchback your way down the grade from the top, but you were on your own if a train showed up. Although the speed limit was (and still is) 15 MPH, they could sneak up on you. In this case, I knew it was coming, of course. Ronda Qualls Faries: Back in the days when you could still walk through the tunnel. I miss that. Did it many many times growing up, of course. And played in the creek as well.
