Hey all,
I'm studying civil engineering at Northeastern in Boston and I've been reading a lot about the currently disused light rail freight tunnels that the Chicago Tunnel Company built. I was curious if anyone has gotten a tour (or worked in them) and might be able to answer a few questions? I'm mostly interested in how these tunnels are maintained after they are taken out of service. I've gotten a tour of the Tremont Street tunnel in Boston and would love to see these in person, but Chicago is a bit too far for me to travel to right now. If you think you can answer any questions or point me in the direction of someone who could please contact me at the following address or send me a PM.
Thanks!
