The Ardglen Tunnel is a summit tunnel on the Main North railway in New South Wales, Australia, between Newcastle and Werris Creek. It crosses under the Liverpool Range near its east end below Nowlands Gap (otherwise known as Murrurundi Gap), the crossing used by the New England Highway. It is approximately 500 metres long, and is approached on either side by 10-kilometre climbs at the ruling grade of 1 in 40 (2.5%). The tunnel is single tracked, which combined with the steep grades make this section a bottleneck. == Stations == The stations on either side of Ardglen Tunnel from the south are: * Murrurundi — medium length crossing loop and start of ruling grades. Had a locomotive depot for bank engines in steam days. * Pangela — closed short crossing loop on ruling gradient * Ardglen Tunnel — summit * Ardglen — medium length crossing loop and railway station, being further lengthened in 2010. * Kankool — short crossing loop on ruling gradient * Willow Tree — medium length crossing loop and railway station and end of ruling grades. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ardglen Tunnel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
