The ends of the Phoenixville Tunnel are located at and . ==History== The tunnel was built in 1884. It is approximately 809.75 feet long and 24 feet 8 inches wide. The tunnel, which was later acquired by the Pennsylvania Railroad, runs parallel to the west of Fairview Street, underneath Fillmore Street. After the First World War increasing competition from automobiles and trucks led to passenger train services being discontinued in 1928. However, freight services continued to use the line. The line, which was used by Conrail from Kimberton to Phoenixville, was abandoned in the 1980s. It is near the 1835 Phoenixville Black Rock Tunnel , the third railroad tunnel to be built in the United States. 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「Phoenixville Tunnel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
