If you're into railway trains at all there's a place on Hwy1 in BC where you can watch the trains go into the spiral tunnel and out and cross over themselves. There's 2 spiral tunnels and a pull off area for both.
Those tunnels are east of Field BC on hwy #1 quite an engineering feat in the days when it was made, worth the time to stop and see, a few trains every hour.
I am familiar with the tunnels you speak of Johnny and yep, very cool. But..I am also familiar with the one 'bguy' mentioned and indeed there is a great train/tunnel watching location on the #1.

There is a BC Gov't campsite just west..GoldPan, but if a person turns at the marked spot...Boondocking at it's finest and of you happen to score one of the primo spots, you are right across from the tunnels and the trains wind thru 4? of them. Its the downhill set of tracks and active all night long.
