We used to party in these tunnels in the 80s. Fred Flintstone on the ceiling of Chatsworth park north tunnel was cool.

I lived near the tunnel from the late 60's through the 80's. Back then there was full access to the tunnel, unlike today. A few friends and I would grab our flash lights and make the trek through the tunnel to play on the sets that were still standing in Corriganville. It would take about 45 minutes to get through the tunnel. On one occasion we had a train come through. You could tell it was coming by the rumbling sound throughout the tunnel and the strong odor of the diesel exhaust blowing from the direction of the train. This meant it was time to scramble for the cut outs in the tunnels side. They are approximately every 150 feet and about 5'WX4'HX3'D in size. We tucked in the cut outs as the train rumbled by. It felt like the train was trying to suck us out but I think it was more psychological then anything, as the train slows down before entering the tunnel. The exhaust was thick and breathing was difficult, but only lasted for 30 to 40 seconds. It was pretty exciting. Would I do it again, probably not. Would I encourage anyone else to do it, probably not. When all was said and done, it was just one of many awesome experiences I had while growing up in the area. I like to return from time to time and reminisce. It's a cool place to visit.
