    Power of an e/b stack train is just now exiting the east portal of Hermosa Tunnel on the west side of UP's famous Sherman Hill grade. Ahead on its climb up is Dale Jct., Dale, Hermosa and the summit at Sherman.

    That's just like the ultimate preditor, sneeking out of a hole :D :D

    Sorry, I have not seen any tunnels in this part of Tejas. :(

    BTW, nice photos!

    Only tunnel I know of is the DART light rail line as it leaves downtown Dallas & heads north for about a mile and a half- on the north end the Red Line splits off for Plano, while the Blue Line goes toward Garland. When I worked at Baylor, I would ride this line from PArker Road into downtown and transfer to a DART bus for the rest of the way to work.
