The Turn Hole Tunnel is an abandoned railroad tunnel near Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. Built by the Central Railroad of New Jersey it carried part of that railroad’s main line until 1912 and was used as part of a passing siding for several decades thereafter. It is now an attraction in Lehigh Gorge State Park.The tunnel takes its name from the Turn Hole in the Lehigh River a deep eddy where the river makes a turn at the base of a high cliff known as Moyer’s Rock.
