That's right, and the tunnel itself was completed shortly before the war, but the tracks, signals, etc. were installed during the war. I remember the two temporary tracks that ran close to the building line to allow construction of the tunnel. I also remember them pouring concrete like crazy to complete the avenue after the temporary tracks were removed. |
