The Whittier tunnel was built by the military and finished in the 1940s. During the Cold War, it was meant to be a base of operations in the event of a nuclear attack. The military had special high tech training cars built just for that purpose. I remember, in the early 90s, I read an article about the military trying to sell the train cars because nuclear treat was diminished. Another fun fact, Portage was an actual town on the highway side of the mountains. It was destroyed in the earthquake of 1964.
