In the Canadian Rockies on the Continental Divide and Alberta/British Colombia border is Kicking Horse Pass. In this high mountain pass are 2 spiral railroad tunnels completed in 1909 - an upper spiral tunnel and on other side of the mountain pass this lower spiral tunnel.

The locomotives and lead cars have exited the lower tunnel portal while many of the same train's rear freight cars are still entering the upper tunnel portal.

Amazing feat of engineering for the early 1900s.
