12.One man who sold tickets on the train from 1959 to 1965 Clive Codrington,pointed out that the tracks which passed through Knolly's Tunnel and the area of Tabaquite were not originally intended for passenger trains."They were really used for the transport of cocoa and coffee,"he said.Construction on Knolly's Tunnel began in 1896,and it was opened on August 13th,1898by the man it was named after---Sir Clement C.Knolly,Acting Governor of Trinidad.It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain.Its architecture is still admired and studied today,and many are amazed that Knolly's Tunnel has stood up to the earth's movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel.At the top of Knolly's Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves,where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature.Standing at the beginning of Knolly's Tunnel,you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end.The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones.Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through,but should do so in groups for safety.In the old days,there were no lights,but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel,though not inside.
On your way in,you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel.These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed.Knolly's Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap.The road was recently improved,but is better when you enter from Tabaquite,and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly's Tunnel.
On the drive to Knolly's Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature.At the site itself,there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink,but in Tabaquite there are several bars,a restaurant,and food outlets.A gas station and a health centre are also close by.
For those who admire architecture,Knolly's Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad.For the nature lovers,there is no better place for them to be and for the historians,they can walk or drive through Knolly's Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled on its structure.So when you visit Trinidad,don't forget to take a look at Knolly's Tunnel!396
