Reviews of Hoosac Tunnel West Portal
"The EAST portal has more public access. The WEST portal should have the same access. It is a HUGE piece of railroad history in this area and should be set up and used as such."
"Historic Hoosac Tunnel. PLEASE THIS IS AN ACTIVE RAILROAD Right of Way. A railroad is not a playground or photo studio. Be aware railroad trains can take a thousand of feet to stop or more. Locomotives weigh several hundred thousand pounds. Thx Please be safe. A Railfan"
"Beautiful in western mass this time of the year"
"Eerie place. Fun to climb on top. Creepy inside. Good trip if you're looking to waste an hour or 2."
