Atlantic
Avenue Tunnel Rockefeller
Center area From alt.college.tunnels: us_nyc_ny_general2.txt
The Atlantic Avenue tunnel is a section of an
old train tunnel that was lost for many years. It was built
in1844 and abandoned in 1861. The tunnel was rediscovered by
Bob Diamond in 1982, a process that involved digging
underneath Con Ed ducts from an entrance in a manhole in the
middle of an intersection.
Information about the tunnel, the tours that
Diamond gives, and photos of the entrance as well as
photos from a tour, can be found on Saul Blumenthal's NYC
subway page at http://wt.mit.edu/Subway/Tunnel/index.html
