Eppsteiner Tunnel, Railway tunnel in Hofheim am Taunus, Germany.
The Eppstein railway tunnel extends 339 meters through a rocky spur made of phyllite rock, following the course of the Lorsbach river.
The original tunnel, built between 1875 and 1877, was replaced with a new structure that opened during Easter weekend in 2013.
The historical portal displays sandstone cladding with architectural details that demonstrate nineteenth-century construction techniques.
The new tunnel accommodates two railway tracks and meets modern requirements for stability and protection against water infiltration.
Construction work required filling the old tunnel with excavation material from the new railway passage construction.
