Completed in 1876. Converted to occasional use in 1887. Closed in 1915.
The ghostly focus of the public comes from one tragic event inside the Tunnel. When in 1903, two trains collided
No.4 Express Collides with a light Mogul Near Merritton Tunnel. On the Grand Trunk line near Merritton, a fatal accident occurred today at around 7:03am. Engine Number 975 left Niagara Falls at 6:00am. Set to run through Hamilton. The Engine Number 4 express train scheduled for Merritton at 6:28am.
As nearly as can be learned, it was 7:03 am when the express train passed a telegraph station near the tunnel, a few moments later Engine 4 and Engine 975 met with a terrible crash.
Both engines in full steam at 22 miles per hour.
