rail tunnels
Bored train routes
Rail tunnels are underground passages built to carry railway tracks, allowing trains to pass through mountains, under rivers, or beneath cities.
They range from short cuts through hills to massive engineering projects spanning miles: The Channel Tunnel connects England and France by rail.
Urban rail tunnels enable subway systems to run beneath streets without disrupting surface traffic.
