Greer Tunnel on what was the Montour railroad (walking South):

This is a bridge-tunnel-bridge situation. At the North end a bridge takes the grade above what is now the Pittsburgh&Central Ohio grade. That line also tunnels through the ridge and then crosses a bridge over Chartiers Creek.

Frank, the Big Savage Tunnel on the Great Allegheny Passage rail-trail (Western Maryland) is a lot longer at 3,294ft. It is also lit. That was a several $million project because they had to invent and deploy bullet-proof lights because the locals like to pot-shot stuff.

There are solid doors which are closed all Winter to prevent freeze damage to the lining and surface.
