Bruce:

That's is a great presentation. Thanks for allowing us to download, I'll be able to enjoy it again and again.

Who is willing to show off their knowledge of the Cascade Tunnel and explain the differences in length. Currently the signage states 7.8 and 41152 feet (7.793 miles). The signs from the 1953 photos show 8 miles. So how did loose 2 tenths of a mile in 56 years? I noticed that the notes with the photos indicate 7.79 miles. Maybe it was never 8 miles, just sounded better to a proud GN?
