It’s 800 feet long, straight through rock, and it’s been abandoned since the 1950s. There are a lot of urban legends about this spot, so it made for a pretty unique explore. So, How old is this and why was it abandoned? To answer that, we have to go back in time. Boston around the turn of the 20th century had a water problem. There was a combination of pollution and shortage of water from the growing population. The greater Boston area needed more of that H2O, So they came up with a solution: Construct a new water supply for the city. That’s exactly what they did, with construction starting in 1897. After 8 years of construction, the last stone in the dam was laid in 1905. The end product is the Wachusett Reservoir. When this was filled in 1908, it was the largest public water supply reservoir in the world, and the largest body of water in Massachusetts. But, when the reservoir was being created there was one little problem. When the land would be flooded, it would also bury miles of railroad tracks underwater. So what the Railroad company did was reroute the tracks, creating a 9 mile bypass to the north of the reservoir. The trestle was almost the same length as the tunnel…it was 917 feet long and 133-feet-high right across the Nashua River. Today, all that’s left is the foundation. It was torn down in 1975 after train service stopped, but it would’ve been impressive to see in person. Looking across the river where the trestle would have been you can see the main event…the now abandoned Clinton train tunnel. While the dam was being constructed the railway was being rerouted, and this tunnel was being dug out. Hundreds of workers used a combination of manpower and steam drills to dig out the 1100 foot tunnel. In the summer of 1903, the first train passed through the tunnel, officially ending the 6 year project Abandonment of this rail line began in the 1930s as other forms of transportation began to increase. Passenger service remaining on this track until 1958. Shortly after, the tracks were removed…and now the tunnel sits empty and all alone…now abandoned for longer than it was in service. The legend around this tunnel is that the farther you go into the tunnel, the end still appears the same distance away….which, after going end to end, I can say is pretty true. The tunnel's western side is concrete lined for about 220 feet…beyond that, the remainder is unlined bare rock with portals of large cut granite at both ends. It ends up looking more like a cave than a train tunnel at this point. Even on a clear day with no rain, there was still water pouring in through the ceiling and walls. And surprisingly, there really weren’t too many sections of collapsed rock…this was the biggest one we found while going through. Though it looks like tight quarters, it’s still 22 ft high and 16 feet wide all the way through. As for the future of this tunnel? Well, good news. This tunnel is still owned by Boston & Maine Railroad, but is under purchase and sale agreement with the Clinton Greenway Conservation Trust.   The plan is to convert it to rail trail after the required tunnel repairs are completed. So while you can walk through it now, hopefully in the future you’ll be able to a lot more comfortably.
