My daughter moved into an apartment near the tunnel portal, so I've been gawking at it every time I'm down there.
How do the trolleys activate the switches? Are they controlled by the trolley itself? or is there a centralized dispatching system of some kind?
Are there any scheduled runs that come out of the tunnel and loop around and go back in?
What about the other way around? Come in from an outbound station, loop around and go back out.
Any other interesting facts would be appreciated.
