This paper describes in detail the interesting methods used in the excavation of the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado. This work is really two parallel headings constructed at the same time, one a single-track railroad tunnel and the other a pressure tunnel for water. There is also included a brief statement of the location and purpose for which the tunnels are built, as well as some notes on the financing of the work by the Moffat Tunnel Commission representing the Moffat Tunnel Improvement District, the form of contract for the construction, and the workmen's bonus plan.
