Accurate list by trailryder. Two comments--
Since the tunnels were built by the railroads, they had the naming rights--tunnels were usually
named for the nearest depot. (More accurate communication--"There is a cave-in at the Greenville
tunnel." That way, you knew the exact location. The "Stewart Tunnel" is a named for the
construction engineer who was surveying the route by horseback or buggy and was killed in an
accident. The real name for the tunnel was Belleville, for the nearest depot. It is my favorite--
the only curved tunnel in Wisconsin. I visited a couple of times before I found that out and
walked the length of the tunnel. My rule was not the enter a tunnel if I couldn't see daylight.)
Two additional tunnels are shown on the Wisconsin Historical Society web site: Lacrosse and
Manitowoc. There is a sketch of the tunnel at Lacrosse.
