Q595  Contributor's Pick!       
It's all foreign power on Q595 as it exits the south portal of Baker Tunnel. The tunnel was built in 1900 and carries the Henderson Sub under the town of Ridgetop. It was the second longest tunnel on the entire L & N system (trailing only the Hagans Tunnel on the CV sub).
