Cricket and Crest Tunnels, Railroad tunnels in Boone County, US
The Cricket and Crest Tunnels consist of two parallel underground passages measuring 2,657 feet and 3,500 feet in length respectively through northern Arkansas terrain.
Missouri Pacific Railroad crews constructed these monumental passages between 1903 and 1905, marking a significant advancement in Arkansas transportation infrastructure.
The tunnels stand as enduring symbols of early 20th-century railroad expansion, representing the determination of workers who overcame geological obstacles.
Visitors can locate both tunnels near the town of Omaha, with the Cricket Tunnel passing beneath Old US Route 65 and Crest Tunnel under Arkansas Highway 14.
The Crest Tunnel holds the distinction of being Arkansas's longest railroad tunnel and remains the state's only curved tunnel passage.
