Tunnels In Minot #1 –
Before WW II there was a
pedestrian tunnel under the railroad tracks on Fourth Avenue (Burdick
Expressway). It was probably built about the same time as the overpass. The
tunnel was well lighted and dry. Cars no longer had to worry about trains, nor
did pedestrians. Cars went over the top and people went underneath. After WWII
the lights were broken by vandals. Women were afraid to use the tunnels.
Because of liability the railroad boarded up the entrance. The question comes
to mind…. Is the tunnel still there? I am pretty sure it is not.
