Moffat Tunnel is well documented in book form and the old Belden tunnel atop Crawford Hill shows up in Overton’s books as well as others. A trip to the library or Colorado Railroad Museum’s website bookstore is in order. Also check listings on the Colorado & Montana RR of 1902.

There is plenty of mis-information floating on the web as well. Depending on what you are after a trip to a real library is advised. (From one who has worked around both tunnels and driven through Belden)

Crawford Hill Tunnel came up on another thread recently. It has been daylighted and is no longer a tunnel. I knew n-a-n-a-i-m-o-7-3, the terraserver king would find a link for you[;)].

no-no-i-no.
The tunnel is still a tunnel and is used by part of BNSF’s maintenance road.
That came up on Murphy Siding’s Great Northern Railroad thread.
