Allan Love Jr	General	It is call the Portage Tunnel.	4/18/2009 9:04:36 AM

George C Johnson	General	Sorry, but I must disagree. The Portage Tunnel is located just south of this location. The Allegheny Tunnel (right) was upgraded in the mid-1990's so that double-stack trains could pass through. After the improvements, the Gallitizin Tunnel (left) was abandoned, and the single track was removed. The Portage Tunnel (not pictured) is still used for eastbound traffic.	4/19/2009 6:21:11 AM

View of the active (and obviously inactive) west tunnel portals at Gallitzin. The Allegheny tunnel handles both east and westbound traffic on the NS Pittsburg Lgne. There is another tunnel further south which handles much of the eastbound traffic on this line.
