Completed in 1911, the tunnel allowed trains to cross the spectacular gorge between Lady Grey and Barkley East . It was however never used due to the steel bridge, needed to link the tunnel to the opposite cliffs, never being erected. Two bridges were sent from England to complete the project. Neither reached their destination: one was returned to be used for ammunition during World War I and the other sank with the ship that was transporting it.
