I was looking at the old MoPac railroad line that goes through Reed's Spring Missouri and noticed a tunnel on the map just southeast of the town. It's still used by (either Union Pacific or Burlington Norther/Santa Fe) the railroad but it's called the Reed's Spring Tunnel by which ever railroad now uses the line.

That is a popular make out spot from when I was in HS.

This is the tunnel section of the midwestplaces website and it had quite a few of them but I encourage you to click on the different bridge types as well. It's a cool site.

Oh yeah, man, people down there have been playing in that tunnel for years. It's pretty old, too, and the community used to use it as a hangout of sorts. I've got an old picture in Stone County history book that shows people having a gathering at the entrance.
