Can someone explain the logic behind the existence of this so-called tunnel? By the way, it's easily noticeable in this pic that almost half the population of the train was at the doorway and an equal number of camera & cameraphones popping out of every available nook and cranny! 2007-12-09, Bizzy.

No distinction between the two classes, atleast for this one day. All non-railfans turned railfans on the run, chucking sleep and gathering near the doorways to catch the scenic section. Armed with anything ranging from puny VGA cameraphones to the massive Nikon 4D, they were everywhere throughout the length of the train.
