augural ceremonies of an international
character, were observed to-day in the
formal opening of the St. Clair tunnel.
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.
