Otisville Tunnel

Western portal of the Otisville Tunnel

The Otisville Tunnel is a railroad tunnel that carries Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line beneath the Shawangunk Ridge. It is the longest tunnel in the Metro-North system, at 5,314 feet (1,620 m) in length.[1] Although the track curves at the western opening, the tunnel itself is a straight line, allowing an observer to see all the way through.

It has been leased by Metro-North from the Norfolk Southern Railway since 2003.[2]
