This is in Northern California for one, where slavery was never at the numbers in the southern U.S. Two, slavery was outlawed in the U.S. after 1865 and this tunnel was started in 1884. And three, before you try and shove Chinese workers into the slavery category....they weren't. Treated unfairly, abysmal work conditions and no thought to their personal safety in general? Hell yes. But not slaves. They were paid just like everyone else that worked the railroad in the late 1800s.

I was curious as to why they left the bridge to be flooded, instead of salvaging or reusing it. Probably too expensive, at the time, and it's probably beyond salvaging, now. Interesting video, though; maybe, if the lake levels keep dropping, they can salvage some of this stuff.

[@ADITADDICTS]

@Jesus Garcia No, big populations need water. And that's exactly why this watershed and others like Oroville were built. Agriculture also uses a huge chunk of the water and when you have winters with next to zero rain/snow then there's no runoff and/or snowmelt to fill the lakes back up. Has nothing to do with politics.

Wow! Wonder how long it had been under water? 1927?

[@muddyudders]

They started flooding the valley in the 1940's. It pops out every so often.

[@dopeytripod]

[@muddyudders]

Yes and lived in the town there.

[@traingirl09]

It is hard to believe that a train would have gone though that tunnel at one point with all that water!! Great find!
