Are you ready to hike through a historic railroad tunnel in the dark? We cover everything you need to know about the Blue Ridge Tunnel Trail.

Once the longest railroad tunnel in the United States, the Blue Ridge Tunnel is now an easy rail trail for walking or biking.

Once the longest tunnel in America, the Blue Ridge Tunnel carved beneath Virginia’s mountains was a triumph of 19th-century engineering. Today, it stands as a relic of a bygone era.

The nearly mile-long tunnel was constructed between 1849 and 1859. It's now open to the public after nearly two decades of restoration efforts.

After years of work and numerous setbacks, it looks as though the Claudius Crozet Blue Ridge Tunnel in Afton will be complete in 2020.

Operation Deep Blue, a nonprofit organization, presented Tunnel to Towers with a $20,000 gift at the end of its "Expedition To Honor Our Fallen" annual kayaking journey.
