Autumn at the Katy Tunnel

The MKT Tunnel (Katy Tunnel) is a 243-foot-long train tunnel that was built around 1893 in the historic town of Rocheport.  It is part of the 225-mile Katy Trail State Park, a biking and hiking trail that stretches across much of the state of Missouri.  Its blackened ceiling is a reminder of the many trains that passed through the tunnel over the years.  Today, bikers and walkers pass through the tunnel (the only tunnel on the Katy Trail) - a scenic highlight of the trail for many.
