In the railnews section of Altamont Press today (Dec 19, 2003) the second article is about the condition of the CORP tunnel in Oregon. Here is a link. http://railroadnews.net/news/12-19.html
I was afraid that the first estimates for reopening the tunnel were overly optimistic. Sadly, it appears that I was correct. At least efforts are ongoing to raise support for repairs. Hopefully, there will be value seen by those outside of CORP in getting the work done! Boxcab E50
