Longest Tunnel in Alberta
Calgary Alberta - The Rockyview turn is just exiting the
longest tunnel in Alberta on a 3% down grade as it heads back to the main line on the Rockyview spur.
This tunnel is just north of the Calgary City Limits (by about 100 feet) and was built to get under the QE2 highway (highway number 2).
The tunnel only gained the notoriety of being the longest when the portion of the Willingdon Subdivision between Lloydminster and Star
was abandoned last year.
