Milepost 88.0 Tunnel

The CR&NW had a 300-350 ft. tunnel approximately 7 miles north of the Tasnuna Bridge. Sources disagree as to the exact milepost, although the “Draft Supplement to the Copper River High Final Environmental Impact Statement”, page 54, places it at 88.0. This document is more consistent with railroad mileposts, so I’m placing it at 88.0.

Suspected location:
