Does anyone have a picture of the sort of loco that would have been in this tunnel?
Also any operational information about the tunnel operation would be appreciated. Particularly with respect to changing locomotives at each end.
Thank you.

Detroit circa 1910. "Michigan Central R.R. tunnel." Another in a series of views of the approach to the St. Clair Tunnel under the Detroit River. Please note: LIVE THIRD RAIL, DO NOT TOUCH. 8x10 inch glass negative.Note: Under-running third rail. I suppose it was electric due to ventilation issues in tunnel.
