The tunnel is a straight 2501 yards.
Tunnel entrance is situated about 100 yards from Queensbury

Queensbury tunnel exploration 1
Queensbury tunnel interior (03-04-07)

I spent the afternoon getting damp in Queensbury tunnel. I only
went quarter-of-a-mile in but far enough to see the debris which
has fallen from the first shaft.
A few pictures attached which
might complement some of Des Phillips’.
 Queensbury
tunnel -1
: Graeme Bickerdike
The northern portal sits at the end of a short cutting
which is very muddy near the tunnel mouth.
Some of the vegetation seems to have been cleared recently as
part of the works for the Great Northern Trail. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -2
: Graeme Bickerdike
The interior is wet for the first few yards and
then drys out. The stonework here appears in fairly good order.
The indentations left by the sleepers on the Halifax-bound side
are still evident. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -3
: Graeme Bickerdike
Structural conditions are dramatically different approaching the
first ventilation shaft.
Some of the brick lining has fallen away and there’s
considerable damage from water penetration. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -4
: Graeme Bickerdike
Despite the drainpipe, a torrent of water
falls from the shaft which, like the others, is capped. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -5
: Graeme Bickerdike
A rather feeble attempt has been made to
fence off the debris. The standing water here is 6 inches deep.
Note the failing brickwork beyond the shaft entrance. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -6
: Graeme Bickerdike
In this 30 second exposure, the vertical
streaks and mist are actually falling water.
In the shadows top-left, the brick lining has succumbed to the
effects of water. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -7
: Graeme Bickerdike
Only after a quarter-mile walk do you
discover the first refuge. Quite a hike to reach a position of
safety! The refuges are more generous than you find in many
other tunnels and would accommodate even the best upholstered
lengthman. I assume that the two small holes in the wall which
seals the portal - seen as dots above the square of daylight –
were cut to allow access for bats. |
Queensbury tunnel exploration 2
Queensbury tunnel interior (11-04-07)
: Graeme Bickerdike
Well, I found another like-minded adventurer and
spent yesterday afternoon exploring Queensbury’s gloom.
We were underground for almost five hours! Attached is a
collection of pictures which take up the journey from the first
ventilation shaft.
 Queensbury
tunnel -8
: Graeme Bickerdike
An assortment of signalling relics have survived fifty years of
abandonment.
Might this have supported a telegraph wire once upon a time? |
 Queensbury
tunnel -9
: Graeme Bickerdike
The home signal for Queensbury-bound trains was just beyond the
northern portal.
The distant signal was therefore located in the tunnel and took
the form of a gong attached to the wall.
The mounting brackets are still in place. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -10
: Graeme Bickerdike
The central section of the tunnel is remarkably
dry. A drain runs down the middle, beneath the trackbed, to take
water away.
But there are areas where the lining has failed or is under
chemical attack. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -11
: Graeme Bickerdike
It appears that cables ran down both sides
of the tunnel, neatly negotiating the refuges. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -12
: Graeme Bickerdike
Probably the most remarkable relic is a lone track panel which
is preserved under masonry from the second ventilation shaft. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -13
: Graeme Bickerdike
The shaft was sunk almost 400 feet – one of the
country’s deepest.
It’s ‘pepperpot’ made the journey down before a concrete cap was
attached. It’s wet underfoot but there’s no deluge from above. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -14
: Graeme Bickerdike
One mile in and the floodwater is with us. In the distance, a
pile of debris blocks the ‘canal’ at the base of shaft three.
It’s another 800 yards to the southern portal. By that stage,
thanks to the falling 1 in 100 gradient, the water has reached
the roof. |
 Queensbury
tunnel -15
: Graeme Bickerdike
The remarkable cutting at Strines has largely been consumed by
infill. Only an 80-foot pool remains.
The portal is completely underwater – just the top stones are
visible. |
Queensbury tunnel exploration 3
Queensbury tunnel interior (10-06)
: Des Phillips
One afternoon in October 2006, I went on a little exploration of
the Triangle and had a quick recce inside Queensbury Tunnel. I
only went a few hundred yards in,
not wanting to be brained by
bricks from the 379ft airshaft! These photos give a reasonable
impression of the interior & problems with the tunnel.
 Queensbury
tunnel ventilation shaft (10-06)
: Des Phillips
The base of the first ventilation shaft about 100 yards in from
the North. Nice masonry to solve the geometrical puzzle of
joining two brick cylinders together. Vertical waterfall from
blocked gloom above! |
 Queensbury
tunnel ventilation shaft (10-06)
: Des Phillips
Pile of bricks at the bottom of the
airshaft. These bricks have probably rotted out from the top of
the shaft after sealing.
Evidence of why BRB, who own the tunnel, want to fill in the
airshafts before the ground swallows up Queensbury town above
(as the H&S bureaucrats would have it). |
 Queensbury
tunnel interior (10-06) : Des Phillips
Looking back to North Portal. The trackbed
has sleeper impressions from the Halfax-bound side and scraper
marks from ballast removal. It is surprisingly dry here because
the drain in the "invert" seems to work and there is 1/100
gradient down to Strines, which was known to be flooded (but not
completely filled) at this date. |
 Queensbury
tunnel interior (10-06) : Des Phillips
Looking into the gloom. A grainy
contrast-corrected photo with flash which gives the right
atmosphere, but fails to catch the end at Strines, 2501 yards
away, which is dimly visible in reality, through the misty murk. |

tunnel interior (10-06) : Des Phillips

and the newly revealed arch on the aqueduct. |

I took a look at the Queensbury tunnel
down at the Strines cutting end at the back end of June.
I was hoping the tunnel had been fully drained by now. Sadly the
tunnel isn't quite ready to explore yet, but it soon will be.
|
Strines Cutting (06-12)

Phill Davison
 I
managed to get a shot down the once submerged end of the tunnel,
it was difficult to expose but I managed one decent shot. It
must be the first photo of that end of the tunnel for many
years. It shows the stonework is in very poor condition, many of
the stones are hanging by a thread. The water is around 3' deep
and is a vivid blue colour. As far as I can work out the blue
lagoon is caused by the crushed limestone aggregate they used to
fill in the cutting. The main active ingredient of agricultural
limestone is calcium carbonate, It's the calcium carbonate which
is responsible for turning the water vivid blue. Most blue
lagoons are often to be found in old quarry sites e.t.c.
It
can't harm the water too much though, we saw a good few fish
swimming about in it. |

June 1881. |

Note : Bob Cockcroft
 The only buildings extant on this
line seem to the the station building in wood at Ovenden, which is an
outstanding survival. It is in bad condition but was still used at my
last visit about two years ago by a car scrap yard owner. The station
master's house is also still there
and in good condition and largely unaltered. The foundations survive of the other platform building which
was a hipped roofed waiting shed.
How long these remain is anyone's
guess. |

 North
Bridge (12-10-09) : Brandon Hatzer
I daren't go on here, mainly didn't want to get my
work smarts dirty! But it's obviously a badly built wall to stop people
walking on the side where the path from earlier leads to. I'm not sure
how it went down to the station but of course whatever was there to get
you to the station has been long removed. The iron bridge starts
directly to the right. |
North Bridge (12-10-09) : Brandon Hatzer
 Many
pictures when looking on Flikr and other places of this slope looking up
but I thought I'd do one looking down. Was a benefit walking down here,
made me realise I need new shoes as my grips on my work shoes nearly had
me head over heels, not much looking after here so can be slippy
especially on the sections without a hand rail. Don't know how people
used this in the winters of old |
 North
Bridge (12-10-09) : Brandon Hatzer
The bottle there kind of spoils it, but I've seen
many of the slope, but no pictures of the steps. Old school steps,
steeper than any health and safety officer would allow them now. Not
nice after dark walking up these! |

Note : Brandon Hatzer
The coal drops in Halifax are listed Grade II
http://www.calderdale.gov.uk/environment/conservation/listedbuildings/
The description reads - Coal drops. 1874. Built for the Ovenden and
Halifax Junction Railway Co. Rock-faced ashlar with wooden bunkers. 15
wooden bunkers each supported between stone piers and to the north an
open shed, with beyond a battered wall topped with a parapet. These coal
drops are built into the slopping hillside. Each wooden bunker has 2
metal doors which were raised on an iron ratchet geared pulley system.
This is a rare and large scale example of railway coaldrops.
I understand if you've already seen this or already know this but
hearing it from my Council pretty much asserts they are listed, and so
they should be! Better than being knocked down or being converted into
flats like every other memory! |
