Kansas before Dorothy goes to Oz! I know this because it's still black and white.

Oooow, a tunnel. This one is right down Hemi's alley.

It looks strangely like NW Colorado, but it's not.

Maybe this one is up may alley in more ways than one?
Seems it's not on the Cumbres & Toltec, but the terrain seens close.

It doesn't follow a major watercourse, either.

So did the color get stripped or is that the way it looks on Google?

Nope, That's how it looks on Google. And it's not Kansas.:)

Dude, for once, this one I haven't seen before. I have searched Montan, CO, and parts of Eastern OR/WA. Yikes, this nearly has me stumped.

Cool, a hint. Good old USA. I have been looking more south of that from California over to the Texas Pan Handle. The old D&FW in eastern New Mexico goes through some very similar stuff just north of Folsum to the Colorado boarder. But allas, no tunnels.

I have checked Raton, LaVeta, Moffat, Craig Branch (that was my original location idea), Siskiyou, Pipestone, Homestake, Mullan , Cumbres, Montrose branch/Passes...
I need to check Tehachapi again; does Cajon have tunnels?
I'll be this is some obscure shortline.

I went up and down Tehachapi. Man that area is really getting developed.

I just zoomed out and looked for states that looked colorless. Utah and Wyoming stood out. Then I just looked closer.

I worked my way up through Nevada, Utah and Western Wyoming. I was headed that way. Congrats Curn. Man there is a lot of desolate country along the UP route of the City of Los Angeles.

The one state I deduced had no tunnels (except Sherman Hill). That's the Yoder Branch, a PRB feeder line. Great job, Curn!

Gee, Hemi. And that is right close to your old stomping grounds too. You learn something new every day.;)
