St. Clair Tunnel, Michigan, United States
3.5 (10 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #17 in Port Huron Historic Sites
Oldest underwater railroad tunnel
I grew up in Port Huron and always thought the tunnel was near Tunnel Street. Finally 40 years later I returned to Port Huron for a visit and was bound to find the Tunnel. Makes sense it is found near the Amtrac station. Interesting historical marker says that there was a plot during WWI to blow it up. I will attach photos when TA makes it possible.

The St.Clair tunnel connect Sarnia to Port Huron underground and underneath the river. I went on a school trip a long time ago thru the St Clair tunnel. It is interesting.

Before you arrive get a train schedule
We went to the train depot but nothing much was happening. We decided to head to 10th street and view it from the other direction. We had to park about 30 yards away from the viewing area. Be careful because some of the parking spaces are tow away zones if you're not a customer of one of the businesses. We went over where another gentlemen was sitting in a walker chair. We struck up a conversation and he was knowledgeable about the tunnel. He was a disabled Vietnam Vet and I thanked him for his service and welcomed him home. If you see him please do the same. It was about 3:40pm and he told us the next train would be passing through at 4:00pm. We could see the freight train, which would be passing through, sitting next to the station. We waited until 4:10pm. He told us the schedules are not exact and there must be a Canadian train coming through. Without a chair, I was getting a little tired so we left, continuing on our Port Huron adventure.
