Eastern Portal: (Satellite)
I don't know who owns this railroad route today.
Metrotrails posted two photos with the comment:
Then and Now Series: Nay Aug Tunnel seen from a viewing area on Davis Trail, Nay Aug Park in Scranton PA, on our hike, compared to the mid 1900s construction photo at the site, photographer unknown (if you know, please help us to give credit).The original tunnel was constructed in 1856, and the second, with concrete facing, was added in 1906. The historic photo shows bridge construction at the west portal of the tunnel, over Roaring Brook, likely following the Flood of 1955.
