Carved through the Continental Divide, this 6-mile railroad tunnel revolutionized travel between Denver and Western Colorado by bypassing the treacherous grades of Rollins Pass. The concrete portal bears the dates 1923 and 1927, marking the beginning and end of the monumental four-year construction project that remains a cornerstone of American railroad engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Linen (1937)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Winter Park (vicinity)\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Colorado\u003cbr\u003eCountry: United States\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Moffat Tunnel, West Portal, Berthoud Pass, Middle Park, Colorado Railroads, Engineering Landmarks\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Unknown\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Sanborn Souvenir Co., Denver, Colo.\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Curt Teich and Co., Chicago (C.T.
