This is one I would love to do IRL. Watching for the elegantly tiled state line marker was the highlight of many trips to visit grandparents in New Jersey. Photo, You Don’t Know Jersey: Signs of New Jersey – Lincoln Tunnel – New York City, Hanson, 2013.

Railroad Park, not new. [Savannah Bridge]
“Tunnel” section, new.
The underpass was the best I could do for a tunnel in the area. Pretty and right next to RR park for mileage.
