The tunnel to Whittier was originally only a railroad tunnel, 2 1/2 miles long. It was recently modified to handle both highway traffic as well as the trains. Computerized controls regulate the flow of all traffic. There is only a single lane so even highway traffic can only go in one direction at a time, and must be interrupted for railroad traffic. Some Ravens and Magpies have become rather tame around the staging parking lots, looking for handouts. By tossing bread out the truck window, they would come up next to the truck, for great closeups, like this Common Raven.
