Classic Trains Summer 2011 question

[NW Mailing List]

Can someone explain why this tunnel was not built "open" in the first place?  It seems as though constructing a tunnel would be much more difficult than just removing the top.  Obviously, that is not the case, or they would have done so originally.

In the current Classic Trains Summer 2011 on page 34 is a image labelled
as #4 east of Christiansburg, VA entering a tunnel (J. David Ingles
photo).  Is this the tunnel east of Shawsville that was daylighted for
double stacks??

In theory you can view the image from the Classic Trains website:
