		Between the shaft and the west end of the tunnel, an 8 foot wide by 9 foot high Pioneer Tunnel was dug, with cross shafts every 1,500 feet to the main tunnel.

		In order to be able to use diesels in the tunnel, the railroad rebuilt this end of the tunnel with a door and two powerful 6-foot fans to force the diesel exhaust out of the tunnel.
