West Portal of Alpine Tunnel 1991 video

In the late '80s, I discovered the Alpine Tunnel in a magazine I bought at a rummage sale.  Fascinated, I then devoured Historic Alpine Tunnel and Poor's DSP&P book from the local Ohio library.  My parents, recognizing my growing passion for the subject, took our family out to visit this amazing place for the first time in 1991.  This is the home movie filmed on a Panasonic VHS-C video camera, complemented by cheesy Windows Movie Maker title slides that I added years later.  I'm not sure where the original file with the audio is, so I added new music over some old soundtrack.
Enjoy!  (Some points of curiosity in the video are listed below)

Some points of curiosity:

• The snow sheds at the portal were still scattered over the approach to the portal (today all of the wood has been removed)
• The rails were still under the snow shed debris (all of these rails were later removed and reused on the rebuilt track near the station complex).
• A small replica of the arch had been erected in the beginning of the cut to the portal.  If I recall correctly, a school teacher and class had created this (this has since been removed).
• Water all around it was the water still trickling out from the tunnel.
• The stone facing of the portal was so covered in sliding dirt and rock that someone had created a makeshift rectangle of wood to keep some tiny access to it.
• The turntable was in nearly complete ruin (Today much has been restored and track has been relaid on the approach)
• The other turntable in the remains of the engine house had not yet been excavated.
• No track had been rebuilt yet on the roadbed.
• A random length of rail was laying on the former roadbed leading to the engine house.
• The coal bin had not been restored.  One can see a side of it had collapsed.
• From the back of the station/telegraph office you can see the collapsed privy that today has been fully restored.
• The cellar in the ground near the front of the collapsed boarding house has not yet been restored.
• The railroad has come and gone and restorations have occurred, but the one constant is: those little marmots are still all over the place! :)
