While it is dangerous, and not advisable to go inside the tunnel, at one time the railroad that built it actually had people that would walk it regularly. Because of this, every oh...100 or so feet there are "man holes" or places where you can step inside and be safe. Bout halfway in there's a large one where the track workers were based out of.
@minesandlookouts Thats not true. A train's top would be a foot to several inches clearance from the tunnel's roof. Just because theres isicles dosn't mean there isnt a train. And thats winter, and isicles can form fast. So just saying, be careful when you enter the tunnel, because it is an active line and is pretty well used.
@jmano33 look i dont know where this is, ect. but all im saying is look at the icicles, there wasnt a train recently through there when he filmed this
When i was reading a train book i discoverd that the Hoosac tunnel toke 24 years to finsh becuase the rock was so hard to drill though. They began building it in 1850.
did you go all the way to the central shaft?

Why did you go inside? The tunnel is still a live rail line. You could have been rail-kill.

@minesandlookouts The Hoosac tunnel see's at-least two trains a day, both heavy intermodal's, and both would squash you instantly.

I'd be scared to go in there for two reasons:
1.) it's one of the longest railroad tunnels in North America.
2.) it's still in service, not abandoned, and there are places where clearance between you and a train could be measured in inches.

It's not haunted. And why is it every video taken of this tunnel is in the winter? Now that's eerie!
