Othello Tunnels

view map

A series of 5 tunnels. Located in the Coquihalla Gorge, these turn of the century tunnels run throughsolid rock and are regarded to this day as an engineering feat.
They also have the distinction of containing the most expensive railway mile in the world at $300,000 in 1914.

Engineer Andrew McCulloch was hired for the job. Determined to get the task done, he opted to tunnel straight through
the granite wall using wicker baskets and rope to survey the landscape. Incredibly, much of the work was done by hand.
