Spiral Tunnels

This wonderful viewpoint in Yoho National Park is a treat for any train enthusiast. Yes that is a train entering or exiting that tunnel in the mountain. The viewpoint is worth the stop on its own merit but watching the trains enter one side of a mountain and come out in another location always amazes everyone who watches this feat of engineering from the late 19th century. Train traffic is high on this line so there is always a chance one will see a train going through the tunnels.
