The staging times are staggered so trains and vehicles don't collide. Pretty unique from what I read. Giant airplane engines pump fresh air into the tunnel and suck out the bad. It also has "safe shelter" incase of a explosion or the tunnel collapses or whatever. <BR/><BR/>We don't truly get 24 hrs of dark here, in the darkest times we get about 4 or 5 hours. BUT! Snow on the ground makes the darness a LOT less dark, it reflects all light from all sources so it really helps to lighten up the darkness. It suprises me when I go down to the State at how dark darkness can be. <BR/><BR/>2 votes for chainring scars...I have found another subculture :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323070439232848154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15655040.post-26275348880843154962007-06-27T16:10:00.000-08:002007-06-27T16:10:00.000-08:00Dog vs Airplane = Dog wins every time.
