“approved for grain storage”
Yes! I finally found it, thank you.
Looks solid, and I can play “Knutsen & Ludvigsen” (Norwegian childrens story about two guys living in a tunnel…)
So… what’s at the end of the tunnel? A light?
The only vision this place has got is tunnel vision.
Ah, a LARPer’s dream!
Ohhh, I’ll take it! I’ve been looking for a tunnel….
We all knew that the taint is just on the edge of the tunnel, but this listing spells it right out for you.
Wonder what it says at the other end.
The Ennis House.
Hmmm. You could make that into a really interesting apartment complex.
Separate the bottom 8 feet from the top 13. The bottom can be driven through, with parking spaces and stairs leading up to the top half. The top half is separated into small apartment units, 13 feet high (or a little less, with the thickness of the floor) and a cool rounded ceiling. Bore some ventilation shafts to the surface. Not the perfect home for everyone, but some people might find it unique and appealing. Maybe. At least you’d be safe from tornadoes.
Probably already has some ventilation shafts. Let’s see, in half a mile you could get how many apartments? If each is 2000 square feet and 16 feet wide it will be 125 feet long (and need sideways elevator). so you can get about 20 in the tunnel. That gives plenty of parking and 8-foot-wide “basement” space for the apartments.
You shouldn’t really need a sideways elevator if people can drive in and park underneath their own apartment.
So if you’ve got 20 large apartments in there, and you rent them at a conservative price of, say, $600 a month apiece, that’s $12,000 a month in income. Could be a good investment. If people would actually rent the things.
I think it would be a fire violation though since there wouldn’t be enough exits.
A few boreholes to the surface, with ladders, should take care of it.
“…formerly occupied by groundbreaking psychologist, Dr. Sigmund Freud.”
I was so going to say that. Damn. I was going for “A perfect place to set up your Freudian Treatment Centre” but clearly wasn’t fast enough
but you know, sometimes a tunnel is just a tunnel
Now about that “never-ending train” dream of yours . . .
It reminds me of that tunnel they go through in spirited away…
Oooooooh, If toteros live there I’m in
Oh no, wrong film. Spirited away had those freaky fuzzballs, on second thoughts I’m out
Totoro’s tunnel was through a hedgerow. “So if there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now …”
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, then Aunt Fannie is naked in the bushes again.
I like it, but from the maps on the site, there isn’t much room to build a normal-looking façade.
It would be great for retired submariners.
“Blimey, it’s a distance. You could do with bikes in this place.”
Extra points for the Dr Who reference. RIP 10.
Only Ogres and Trolls need apply.
Ohhh, the railroad runs through the middle of the house…
You have to install your own tracks.
I say buy it, pack it full of C4, and terraform your own damn house out of the rubble.
How can everyone have missed Plummer’s Butte?
Just look away. He’s just showing off; there’s no plumbing in there yet.
You know the housing market is bad when you have an option of with or without the light at the end of the tunnel.
And you know things are REALLY bad when there is no option of with the light at the end of the tunnel.
Missile silo would be better, but they’re always out in the middle of nowhere.
Of course this one… you’d have to drive miles just to FIND nowhere.
The fun part would be installing the heavy steel gates on either side, and going in halfway and digging out a bigger home. Zombie AND atom bomb proof!
Well, atom bomb ‘resistant’, anyways. It’s not as if they’d target an abandoned rail tunnel, even if they’d bother targeting Plummer, Idaho.
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when,
but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day!
you’d have a hell of a time getting the cable guy out there. cell reception is probably spotty too. good place to keep your ammo and survival kits though.
I’ve been to Plummer Idaho. Its the start of the Trail of the Couer D’Alene, and very nice Rails to Trails bike trail. Why this tunnel isn’t on it I don’t know. would be fun to ride a bike through it. Plummer is on a large Indian Reservation.Its kind of a depressed town in a depressed area though the tribe has invested a lot of money on a hospital, health center and very nice grocery store. If the motel we stayed at had been even the slightest bit seedier we would have had to leave and we tend to like our hotels less than 1st class.
There is lots of pollution from all the silver mining in the area which adds to the allure.
Oh no… I’m not falling for this one again. As soon as I try to enter, a train’s going to run me over, leaving me a cartoonish pancake on the ground. Then two workmen are going to walk off with the painted tunnel facade, leaving nothing but a brick wall in its place. Very clever, real estate man… very clever.
Uh-oh, I’ve heard of this illness … you’ve seen too many episodes of Roadrunner cartoons.
You need to see a therapist.
It would be great to sight in a long range rifle without a crosswind. But then again its on the rez and that just sucks almost all value out of it.
Would make a really great art gallery!
Wow, this reminds me of Spirited Away…
I’m so expecting a stone spirit/gnome thing to come along and block the car!
