I always knew it was there growing up, but too afraid to wander around. There is another tunnel that lets out behind Lincoln School. Never got too far there either. Providence is full of surprises. keep up with the renovations and preservation of our past. I miss being home. Mystic has far fewer mysteries

EXCELLENT WORK. Time to restore this line to its former glory as a light rail line linking Providence with Newport.  Time to bring rational mobility back to the people of Rhode Island. BRAVO!

Its too bad the assholes that run this state didn't have the foresite to save R&R service. Instead they move the R&R Station away from the center of the city, build an ugly building that falling apart and now R&R passengers have to hail a cab because its do dangerous to walk to the Biltmore. What Buffoons run this state.

during the blizzard of 78, i walked through the bus tunnel under college hill from Providence back to the east side on my way back to rumford. Wasn't going to climb that hill, with not a car on the road due to the snow

Great job! I think RIPTA should reopen the tunnel and install a light-train which would connect Providence and Newport (with all the places in between)

[rocketdude1979]

@Checkitpro it's not that simple. To get to Newport from Providence via the former route of the RR, a significant amount of right of way would need to be rebuilt (through Warren and Bristol, into Mass across the Taunton River,to Fall River (no bridge any more) then turn south to pick up the old RR R.O.W, to Newport via Tiverton. The RR drawbridge to Apiquidick Island was removed recently, so between needing a new RR through 2 states + 2 major new bridges it probably won't happen. :(

Fascinating story of the tunnel. I did a little exploring here years ago. Somewhere I have a video of that.

My father used to play chicken with trains in/around this tunnel when he was a boy, no joke.
