The historical Donner summit train tunnels. The tunnels were full of graffiti and bats. We didn't notice the bats but they were flying around above us disturbed by the flash lights. In some tunnels people said they could smell the bat poop, but I had double mask on because the smoke and the delta Covid virus. We spent the night before in Reno Nevada thinking it would be quicker to get to the tunnels. When we reached Reno the air quality was in the very hazardous levels because smoke had blown in from fires. The fires weren't near us so we were surprised. Wild fires are so common now and difficult for the firefighters. This is a easy two and a half mile walk one way, so five miles round trip. I enjoy this walk, you can see Donner lake and the tunnels are very interesting. The tunnels were completed in August 1867 and built mainly by Chinese workers. The last train past through in 1993.

Final set from this abandoned train tunnel!!

After a long walk down a lonely road and climbing down a steep incline in the dead of winter, we finally arrived at the entrance to what is locally known as The Blue Ghost Tunnel.  The trek in was made tougher due to the fact we had just recently received a substantial dumping of snow, where in some areas the wind had caused it to be up to a metre deep.  Standing in front of the large stone face, we could first hear coyotes howling in the distance, then just before entering the tunnel a flock of Canada Geese flew overhead.  Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the unmistakable sound of water constantly dripping from the ceiling above, as you exhale, your breath creates large clouds of steam in the cold humid conditions.  Despite all these sights and sounds, being inside the tunnel is a very relaxing experience, that is until you start to get to the ice covered areas!  An amazing sight to see, huge icicles dangling from the ceiling that sparkle as the flashlight hits them. In some areas the ice gets so thick it creates a wall which would be impossible to pass.  As you try to navigate your way through this ice castle you are constantly losing your footing on the uneven ice covered ground.

The Merritton Tunnel also known as the Blue Ghost Tunnel or the Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel is a railway tunnel that has been abandoned for over 100 years.  Built using locally sourced limestone and having a length of 713 feet the tunnel was completed in 1876 but did not open until 1887.  The tunnel was used to pass beneath what was a former canal and was in operation until 1915 when the final train would pass through its stone walls.  Since then the east entrance has turned into a wetland and has flooded a good portion of the tunnel and the west entrance had been sealed by a cinder block wall with only a barred door allowing access.  The floor is covered by the old railway ties from its use by trains and water tends to collect in a ditch on the north side.  These days the tunnel is often visited by "ghost hunters", kids and graffiti taggers who leave their mark by scrawling poorly spelled profanity on the walls.
