Screaming Tunnel (Q7438942)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Screaming Tunnel is a small limestone tunnel, running underneath what once was a Grand Trunk Railway line (now the Canadian National Railway). It was located in the northwest corner of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The actual location of the attraction is just off War. It was originally built for a North to South line for the Grand Trunk Railway. But the plans were changed. Some say the reason was lack of funding, but the actual reason is unknown. The tunnel was abandoned and used as drainage tunnel so the water could be removed from the farmlands nearby. This water would go underneath the Grand Trunk Railway and down to the valley below. Throughout the 20th century, farmers used this tunnel to transport goods and animals safely underneath the busy railroad above.
