The Great Baltimore Tunnel.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
tunnel has Just been completed under
the city of Baltimore. Its length ia
about seven miles, there being double
tracks the whole length Of the line
anl four tracks on the same level for
a small part. For $3.50 feet the tun.
mel lies beneath Howard street, one OF
the most important In the city, linei
on either side by buildings six and
eight stories high, and the surface of
which IS used by cable road and by
lines of electric and horse cars. How
ard street is cightytwo feet wide, ex-
cept at the northern end Of the tun-
nel, where 1t IS contracted to seventy
two feet. Tie top of the tunnel is
from three feet six inches to brty
feet below the top of the pavement.
The excavations were through harl
rock, snnd, gravel and Fullers earth,
and pockets Of quichsand and water
were struck, SO tLnt every condition
was encountered and overcome.
The width of most of the tunnel is
fortv-six feet. The roof is OF iron
girler construction, with buckle
plates overlaid with concrete and q
covering Of sand. The total thickness
of the roof, including the pavement,
is four feet ten inches. At some sec
tions the roof of the tunnel is Just
beneath the cable trench.
What is of particular interest in the
operation of this road is the use oi
electricity rs motive power. Elec-
trio engines weighing ninety-fve tons

! These engines will run fifty miles OIL
