None of the modern equipment would fit in the tunnel and we did everything by hand just like in the 1870's. The crew rode in an out of the tunnel everyday in a small motorcar powered by a Ford straight six engine. We had to get in and get our work done and get out before the California Zephyr or one of the Utah coal trains came along and crushed the lot of us. That Ford six didn't always want to start and we had some close calls!
Harvey, that was one kick ass zydeco tune! I love that kind of music, thanks for posting it!
That must have been a harrowing experience. We run a smaller car yet with a twin cylinder Onan.
