Among those who witnessed the oer-emonies were many of the state gov-ernors, the Governor-General of Can-ada, Sir Henry Tyler, president of the Grand Trunk Railroad and many high American and Canadian civic and railway officials. A banquet was served in the tunnel, the banquet ta-ble being set across the boundary line. During the entertainment the famous Nineteenth Batallion Band of Hamil-ton rendered music. “God Save the Queen” was played on the Canadian side and the “Star Spangled Banner” on the American side. The tunnel which is recorded as a triumph of engineering skill, passes under the St. Clair river between this city and Sarnia, on the line of the Chicago and Grand Trunk railroad. Heretofore the trains of the Grand Trunk have been carried across the river in ferry boats. The actual tunnel itself under the river is 6,026 feet long. Ground was broken for this great work on New Year’s day I89O. The cost of the tunnel and its approaches is $2,500,000. The American approach is 1500 feet long fiom the starting point on the surface level to the mouth, and the Canadian approach is 2,000 feet long. The grade shows a drop of one foot in every fifty feet of length. The tunnel is lined through-out with solid cast iron plates bolted together in segments—each segment being 5 feet long, 18 inohes wide, and 2 inohes thick with flanges 5 inches deep,the whole lining weighing 28,000 tous. The bolts and nuts for con-neeting the segments together weigh 2,000,000. The permanent way through the tunnel is laid with steel rails weigh-iDg 100 pounds to the lineal yard. The interior diameter of the tunnel is 20 feet, and ample means have been provided for thorough ventilation and for lighting it througout when re-quired, with electric lights. The road is practically level with the river. At the ends of the apparatus are junctions with the Grand Trunk railroad on the American side of the river. The tun-nel was constructed by means of heavy wrought-iron shields, with sharp edges, fifteen feet three inches long, and twenty-one feet six inohes diame-ter. Each shield was pushed forward by twenty-four hydraulic rams, the barrel of each ram being eight inches diameter, with a stroke of little more than eighteen inches. Eaoh ram exer-eised a force of 125 tons Probably no other railroad tunnel can show as handsome an exterior. Starting from the roadbed level the tunnel is lined with brick plastered with Portland eement half way up the sides. This is put on merely for a finish, for the bricks are laid inside the flanges of the plates. Every alternate fifth feet safety ladders made of iron are built into the brick work bo that the tunnel men may find a place of safety when trains pass through. The cast-iron plates weighed 1000 pounds each and the key plates 200 pounds a pice, so that 50,859,600 pounds of oast iron were used in constructing the tunnel The completion of this great enter-prise, ends the contention that tun-nels under the Detroit or St. Clair rivers are impracticable.
