Meanwhile CSX can pull hazmat through their tunnel right in town and set it on fire, or NS can run up the corridor and go right past the Amtrak station underground on track 7. Amtrak dispatch can hold a southbound train at the mouth of the tunnel facing the station as well (and there have been fires in that tunnel). The old Mt Vernon interlocking runs out of there as well for freight going up the Light Rail to ####eysville, used to be a Flexi-flo right next door to Light Rail HQ with all kinds of tanker stuff being transferred.
So if the Harbor Tunnel was privately owned by Swift, they could likely run hazmat through it. It would be a sort-of test to see if they really believe they are a safe company or not, whether they would do it.

Mt Vernon, Bailey Wye (B&O roundhouse in middle) old Camden Station, Greenspring Station near the Lyric House and on and on and on. Canton Railroad etc. memories.
They do not run the South and East line on Oriole game days. Why? The trackage is 35 feet from 90,000 people plus oh... 400,000 more in that core of the city.
Amtrack is carved in stone inside of me. Certain rules with that 125 mph whispering death you will NEVER hear coming. YOU will NOT make it across or off the track. Use a hose to spray off the bones and chuck the rest into the grinder under the crematory.speedyk Thanks this. -

I don't know about my memory from some of the things so far back for me on I-77, there has been at one time or another detours around that Interstate in the north part due to problems. Its not common for me to have run it although I have used it. Most freight is east-west. Some like Coil is NW to SE across the smokies.
Just mind your horsies and oil-water temps in the hills this summer on 77.MACK E-6 Thanks this. -
Loveland Pass I-70 Haz-mat route in CO at night in January.....No thank you...Sir.

And Baltimore, south 695 is good for hazmat key bridge. Not our tunnels.
Little Rock, 30 verboten in little rock core. 440 or 40 to 430 (Mind the horsies, you climb a stiff 600 foot mountain on the way off the river bridge) 630 is also verboten.
