Staple Bend Tunnel

1189 Beech Hill Road
Johnstown, PA 15904

This 901-foot tunnel is the first railroad tunnel built in the United States. In operation from 1833 until 1852 when the Pennsylvania Railroad bypassed it, restorations to the tunnel have revitalized it into part of a five-mile biking/walking trail.

The grand entrances, detailed stonework and marvelous sandstone-arched liners greet visitors as they explore the national historic site.
