The tunnel exit will break out of the new wall they built with the orange mesh fencing at top by the railroad tracks. There were two men rapelling on the rock face under the metal mesh to clear up so no rock falls on the tracks.
The dig - one mile long, 18 foot diameter conduit for $140 million to $386 million
Trains pass by several times a day.

These diggers are kept at the B&O Train Station parking lot. They use the two metal tires to ride the rails, then go over the ground with the large rubber tires.
