THE
PRESENT
AND
ORIGINAL
(IF
KNOWN)
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Barretts Railroad
Tunnels
Historic
District
encompasses
30
acres.
The
Pacific
Railroad
bed
originally
followed
a
ridge
punctuated
by
narrow
valleys.
Be
ginning
in
1853,
these
valleys
have
been
filled
in
by
developers,
utilizing
spoil
from
the
tunnels,
resulting
in
the
creation
of
a
series
of
terraces.
The
two
railroad
tunnels
are
approximately
1/4
mile apart
and
roughly
face
each
other;
the
east
tunnel
is
oriented
east-west,
the
west
tunnel
southwest-northeast.
The
area between
the
tunnels
is
occupied
by
rolling
stock, two
frame
buildings,
and
three
prefabricated
pole
barns.
The
frame
buildings
have been
there
since
the
1940's;
the
pole
barns
were,
recently
erected
to
shelter
rolling
stock.
None
of
these
buildings
are
being
nominated
to
the
National
Register.
Barretts
Station
Road
roughly
bisects
the
district
along
a
southeast-northwest
axis.
North
of
the
district
is
commercial
development;
west
and
south,
the
present
day
Missouri
Pacific
tracks
and
a
forested
area that
conceals
a
residential
district.
The
area
being
nominated
is
presently
under
lease
by
the
National
Museum
of
Transport,
which
hopes
to
become
formally
associated
with
the
St.
Louis parks
and
recreation
system
and
to
eventually
acquire more
land
to
serve
as
a
buffer
zone.
The two tunnels are
distributed
along
a
one-half mile
stretch
of the
original
Pacific
Railroad track
approximately
fifteen miles
west
of
the
eastern
terminus
of
that
railroad.
They
are
cut
through
solid
limestone
and
shale
hills.
The
overlay
above
the
tunnels varies,
being
50
feet
at
the
deepest
point.
It
con
sists
of
limestone
and
soil
covered
with
mixed
scrub
timber
of
the
oak-hickory
forest.
1
The
West
Tunnel
',
the
shorter
of
the
twg,
was
originally
440
feet
long
but
has
eroded
to
its
present
410 foot
length/
The steep
slope
on
either
side of
the
east
portal
has
been
faced with
a
stepped
cut
stone
retaining
wall.
The east
and
west
ends
of
the
west
tunnel
are
reinforced
with
concrete
portals.
The
rail
bed
rests
on
a
rock
ballast
floor flanked
by
guttering.
On
either
wall, cut
stone
wainscoting
rises
approximately
five
feet.
Because
of
the
occurrence of
shale
deposits
in
the
walls,
engaged
piers
line
either
side
of
the
tunnel
to
provide
additional
stability.
These
piers
are
constructed
of
cut stone, brick,
or
con
crete.
They
rest
either
on
the
wainscoting
or
on
pedestals
and
are
spaced
ap
proximately
12
feet
apart.
The
tunnel
is
about
15
feet
wide
and
16
1/2
feet
tall
in
the
center.
The
ceiling
is
limestone
caprock
and
slightly
arched.
The
East Tunnel
penetrates
solid
limestone
and
has
not
required
the
elaborate
reinforcement
and
portals
of
the
west
tunnel.
Its
appearance
is
more
that
of
a
mine shaft
than
a
railroad
tunnel.
The
track
has
been
removed
and
there
is
standing
water
inside.
The
tunnel
is
bell
shaped--18'
wide
at
the
bottom,
14'
at
the
top,
and
18'
in
height
from
floor
to
ceiling.
It
has
eroded
from
its
original
630
feet
to
its
present
length of
587
1/2
feet.
4
The
1400 foot
stretch
between
the
tunnels
was
brought
to
grade
by
spoil
from
the
tunnels,
creating
a
fill up to
53
feet
deep
in
places.
The
roadbed through
the
tunnels
and
across
the
fill
dividing
them,
maintains
a
grade
of.just
under
1%,
varying
from
0.81%
to
0.87%
running
from west
to
east.^

STATEMENT
OF
SIGNIFICANCE
Barretts
railroad
tunnels
are
historically
significant
as
the
first
railroad
tunnels
west
of
the
Mississippi
River
and
as
the
only
structural
reminder
of
the
original
Pacific
Railroad
left
in
Missouri.
The
tunnels
represent
not
only
the
technological
development
of
American
civil
engineering
of
the
19th
century,
but
more
importantly
the
railroad
which
expressed
American
expansionistic
and
im
perialistic
policies of
American
politics
and
economics
of
the
mid-1800's.
As
one
of
Missouri's
first three
railroads,
it
acquainted
the
state's
citizens
with
state-sponsored,
large scale
industrial
capitalism,
working
class
discipline,
and
time
efficiency.
The
whole
debate
accompanying
the
financing
of
the
railroad
and the
series
of
construction
problems
mirrored
the
national
debate
over
internal
improvements
and
the
problems of
railroad
development.
The
seeds
of
railroad
fever
were
planted
when
Missourians
considered
their
first
railroad
in
1830.
In
August of
that
year, the Missouri
Republican
called
upon
St.
Louis'
5,852
people
to
look
at
the
miniature
railroad
locomotive
which,
on
a
larger
scale,
would
work
miracles
on
the
economy.
1
Investors
and
dreamers
came
together
to
promote
railroads.
Between December,
1836
and
February,
1837,
seventeen railroads
were incorporated
by
Missouri's
General
Assembly.
With
few
exceptions,
each
extended
from
the
Missouri
or
Mississippi
rivers
to
an
inland
town.
As
yet,
the
river
and
the
new
age
of
steamboats
held
the
attention
of
investors
and
businessmen;
it
did
not
seem
possible
that
anything
would
replace
rivers
as
primary
transportation
avenues.
But
there
was
a
movement
for
a
transcontinental
railroad,
and
competition
arose
among
cities
to be
the
eastern
terminus.
Chicago,
New
Orleans,
Memphis
and
St.
Louis
vied
for
this
distinction.
3
It
was
this
competition
which
prompted
the
burst
of
railroad
talk
and
planning
for
the
Pacific
Railroad
Company. This
was
not
just
a
provincial,
commercial
enterprise.
Its
promoters
spoke
of
national
and
international
use
and
need.
The Pacific Railroad
was
to
connect
the
East
with
the Far
East.
The
West with
its
rumored
gold,
minerals
and
free
land,
and
Asia with
its
own
rumored
trade
goods
and
beckoning
markets
were
to
be
linked
with
St.
Louis,
Chicago,
New
Orleans
and New
York.
This
railroad
was
to
close
the
gaps
and
become
the
principal
tool
of
American
expansionism.
Men
such
as
Thomas
Hart
Benton
and
William
Gil
pin
saw
the
railroad
as
a
crucial
factor
in
the
fulfillment
of
Manifest
Destiny
wherein
American
influence
spread
into
Asia
and
dominated
markets
of
economy
and
morality.
In
an
attempt
to
obtain
grassroots
political
and financial
support
for
the pro
ject,
William
Gilpin
spoke
to
Jackson
Countians.
On
November
5,
1849,
Gilpin
begged
them
to know:

This
central
railroad
is
an
essential
domestic
institution:
more
powerful
and

or

(it
would)
bind
the two

to
this
one
nation,
like

to
the
human
head.,
.(and)...our_
diplomacy
shall
receive
a

direction...when
men
of
sense...shall
sail
over
from
Astoria
to
Pekin(g),
and
there
converse,
with
the

On

in

us,
are
400,000,000
people
of
the
tropics Polynesians,
South
Americans,
Southern
Asiatics among
whom
wheat
is
not
cultivated,
and
animal
food,
other
than fish
and
poultry, very
scarce....
Here,
then,
will
be
the
market....
It
is
not
ambition
that
impels
us_,
citizens
of
Missouri,
to
advance
to
the
advocacy
of
this
great
work with
our
whole
un
shackled
energies it
is
high
religious
duty.
4
On
March
12,
1849
the
rhetoric
and
dreams
began
to be
realized
when
the
Governor
signed
the
bill
creating
the
Pacific
Railroad
Company.
5
The
charter
called for
the
construction
of
a
railroad
westward
from
St.
Louis
via
Jefferson
City
to
the
western
boundary
of
the
state,
"...with
a
view
to
being
continued
to
the
Pacific
Ocean."
0
The
exuberance
over
the
charter
soon
diminished
as
a
cholera
epidemic
broke out and
claimed
ten
per
cent
of
St.
Louis'
population.7
As
if
the
epidemic
were
not
devastation
enough,
a
fire
broke
out
on
the
steamboat
White
Cloud,
and
spread
from
the
boat
throughout
the
waterfront
and
into
the
townT
5
With
the
town's
attention
absorbed
by
these
catastrophes,
the
railroad
was
pushed
aside
and not
reconsidered
until
late
January,
1850
when
a
board of
directors
was
named.
John
0'Fall
on
became
president
while
Thomas
Alien
served
as
secretary
and
Daniel
D.
Page
as
treasurer.
9
O'Fallon
and
Alien
were
advantageously
con
nected
with
the
federal
and
state
governments--0'Fallon
as
a
colonel
and
Alien
as
a
senator
in
the
state
legislature.
The
directors
pledged
$154,000,
petitioned
Congress
for
a
land
grant, and
presented
the
state
legislative
body
with
re
quests
for
aid.10
The
promoters
urged
St.
Louisians
to
shake their
lethargy
and
promised
that,
with
a
railroad,
their
city
would
be
lively
throughout
the
winter
with
an
alternative
to
the
natural
restrictions
of
an
ice-bound
river.
11
The
promoters
promised
to
open
up
new
avenues
of
trade;
farmers
heard:
"Let
the
farmers build
the
road,
and
the
road
will
build
the
farmers."
12
The
company
selected
James
P.
Kirkwood
as
chief
engineer
and
asked
him
to
survey
for
the
best
possible
route.
Born
in
Scotland,
Kirkwood
had
worked
in
Massachu
setts
in
1832
on
three
railroads
and
acquired
a
reputation
for
skill
and
innova
tion.
IJ
As
a
founder
of
the
American
Society
of
Civil
Engineers,
Kirkwood
was
qualified
for
the
job
of
chief
engineer.

He
surveyed
three
routes
from
St.
Louis
to
Jefferson
City.
The first
ran
along
the
ridge
between
the
Meramec
River
and
River
des
Peres
valleys;
it
would
run
149.03
miles
and
cost
$3.8
million.
The
second
followed
the
Missouri
River
as
closely
as
possible;
it
ran
121.87
miles
and
cost
$2.9
million.
The
third
ex
tended
from
Carondolet
and
Gravois
creeks
along
the
Meramec
divide;
it
would
run
130.58
miles
and
cost
$3.2
million.
Kirkwood
preferred
the
route
following
the
ridge
between
the
Meramec
and
River
des
Peres
because
"The
interests
which
it
assists and
develops
are
so
important, and
promise
such
results,
as
to
make
it...
the
safest
return
as
an
investment...."^
The
interests
it
served
seem
to
have
been
opening
up
markets
in
southern
Missouri
and
diverting
the
trade
of lead
and
agricultural
products
from
the
lower
Mississippi
to
St.
Louis.
By
this
route,
the
railroad
did
not
have
to
compete,
initially,
with
river
traffic.
Kirkwood
hoped
to
locate
the
western
terminus
at
Kansas
City
where
the
railroad
could
more
favorably
compete
with
river
trafficj^
j
ne
Board
consciously
supported
policies
and
a
route
which
drew
trade
off
the
rivers.17
However,
the
route
was
not the
easiest
and not
the
cheapest;
by
1855
and
with
the
experience
of
tunnel
construction
behind
them,
the
stockholders
realized
their
first
error.18
On
Ouly
4,
1851
a
crowd
gathered
around
Chouteau's
Pond,
in
St.
Louis,
and
.:
cheered
as
the
ground opened
to
the
spade
and
as
Alien
exhorted,
"The
railroad
saves time,
and
time
is
money."!"
Notice
went
out
to
contractors
to
place
bids
for the
first sections
of
construct!on.20
Actual
work
commenced
on
August
1,
1851.
Each
mile
was
let
to
a
separate
contractor
and
his
personal
crew.
Unlike
Alien,
the
contractors
were
not
driven
by
the
need
to
save time
or
money.
Their
deadlines
were
set
on
November
1,
1852;
all
but one was
late.^1
A few
departed,
leaving their sections
incomplete
and
leaving
the
Company
with
the
additional
expense
of
letting
new
contracts.
The
immediate
source
of
the
delays was
two
fold:
scarcity
of labor and cost increases
for
materials."
The
directors
recognized
that
the
major
delay
came
from Sections
16
and
17
which
were
in
charge
of
the
tunnel
construction,
and they
admitted
to
not
having
foreseen
the
complex
ity
of
such
construction.23
"Few
other
physical
undertakings
are
approached
with
anything
like
the
uncertain
ty
of
tunnel
work."24
This
generalization
held
in 1851
when
workers
first faced
the
hills
to
cut
Barretts
Tunnels,
just
as it

tunnelling,
as
through earthen
hills
or
under
rivers,
has
advanced with
the
flow of
new

new,
improved,

strengthened
materials,
the
technology
of
hard rock
tunnelling,
like
that
employed
in

Barretts Tunnels,
has
only
advanced
through
differing
combinations
of
the

elements
employed

Barretts

Many

were
the

The
Barretts
Tunnels
are
monuments
to
a
technology
that
has
not
changed
so
much
as
it
has
been
replaced.
Hard rock
tunnelling
"...remains
largely
independent
of
the
realm
of
mathematical
analysis
long
after
the
time
when
all
but the
most
insignificant
engineering
works
were designed
by
that
means."
25
To
construct
hard
rock tunnels
like
Barretts
Tunnels,
excavation
proceeded
by:
1)
mechanical
drilling
and
cutting;
2)
blasting;
3)
drilling
and
blasting.
25
Brute
force
transcended engineering
and
the
Pacific
Railroad
Company
hired
dozens
of
Irish
men
to
do the
work.
27
The
best
tunnel
engineer
in
the
1850's
hired
the
strongest
backs
and
worked
them
the_hardest.
Tunnelling
in
hard
rock was
a
brutal
business
and
"in
tunnelling
as in
no
other
branch of
civil
engineering
did
empiricism
so
long
resist
the
advance
of
scientific
theory;
in
no
other
did the
'practical
engineer
1
remain
to
such
an
extent
the key
figure
in
establishing
the
success
or
failure
of
a
pro
ject.""
The
more
impressive
civil
engineering
feats,
graceful
bridges
and
giant
skyscrapers,
often
inspire
artists
and
poets;
tunnels
generally
do
not.
Construction
of
the
1850's hard rock
tunnel
began
at the
ceiling.
Workmen
did
not
begin at
the
base
of
the
hills
to
build
Barretts
Tunnels, but
cut
into
the
sides
of
the
hills,
using
the
spoil
as
fill
to
raise
the
surrounding
ground
to
the
level
of
the
tunnel
floor.
Beginning
at
the
ceiling
level,
men
proceeded,
with
picks,
chisels
and
shovels,
to
carve
out
a
low
tunnel
or
"adit,"
about
five
feet
high,
just
big
enough
to
accommodate
a
work
crew
of
Irishmen.
These
men
kept
driving
the
adit
through
the
hill
using
muscles applied
to
mechanical
tools.
Other
men,
using
hand
driven
augers,
drilled
holes
in
the
floor
of
the
adit.
These
holes
were
then
charged with
black
powder.
Blasting
force
thus
did
the
work
of
loosening
most
of
the
solid material
in
the
construction
process.
29
The
loosened
rock
was
then
loaded
into
mule-drawn
dump
carts
and
hauled
to
the
1400
foot
long
fill
area
between
the
two
tunnels.
This
fill
area
is
up
to
53
feet
deep.
Barretts
Station,
between
the
two
tunnels,
and
Barretts Station
Road,
crossing
the
railroad
track near
the
depot,
both
stand
partly
on
the
spoil
hauled
from inside
the
tunnels.
With
over
1,000
men
working
on
the
railroad
in
1851,
the
company
wanted
a
dis
ciplined
working
force
loyal
to
its
own
drive
for
efficiency
of
time
and
money.
30
The
directors
complained
of
strikes,
riots
and
resistance
of
landowners. However,
they
believed
the
chief
obstacle
came
from
experiencing
"...the
inconvenience
in
regard
to
procuring
and
controlling
labor,
of being
upon
the
frontier.
31
Most
of
the
porkers
were
Irish
immigrants
who
built
shanties
on
the
edge
of
the con
struction
line
and
moved
as
the
work
progressed.
The
company
rejected
their
attempts
to
obtain
a
recognized
labor agent
in
the
form
of
the
Irish
Immigrant
Association.
The
major
fringe
benefit
came
from
the
Company's
willingness

were

or
injured
on
the
job.32
This
became
important
when
Asiatic
cholera
once
again
struck
St.
Louis
in
1851.
Believing
that
alcohol
was
a
deterrent
to
cholera,
the
company
supplied
the
beverage
to
its
employees.
The
cholera
remained
and
many
employees
not
only
fell
ill
but also
drunk
and disorderly.
The
cholera
epidemic
was
especially
severe around
Barretts
and
those
who
did
not
fall
ill
were
frightened
away."
Several
hundred
men
worked
on
Sections
16
and
17
which
was
the
hard
rock
excava
tion of
Barretts
Tunnels one
630
feet
and
the
other
440
feet
long
and
50
feet
in
depth.
The
close
work
underground,
in
a
damp,
cold,
and
dark
environment
lent
justification
to
their
suspicion
that
they were
more
susceptible
to
the
disease.
Coupling
this
fear
with
bad
management
and
poor
working
conditions
resulted
in
lengthy
delays
on
this
section and
periodic
abandonment
of
work
by
both
contractors
and
laborers.
34
On
New
Year's
Day
of
1853
rioting broke
out
between
Sections
18
and
17.
Sixty armed
men
attacked
each
other;
two
were
killed
and
several
injured.
The
chief
engineer
insisted
on
having
the
St.
Louis
Grays
and
the
Missouri
Artillery
called
out
to
restore
order.
By
the
time
the
military
arrived
most
of
the
rioters
had
passed
out
from
drinking
and
fighting
or
were
recovering
from
hangovers.
Some
St.
Louis
newspapers
urged
the
railroad
and the
military
to keep
the
workers
in
line
while
others
mocked
the
over-reaction
and
exaggeration
which
the
riots
had
generated.
Accounts
offered
reasons
for
the
riots
ranging
from
bad
management,
the
cholera, religious
differences,
to
drunkenness.
The
police
succeeded
in
breaking
up
"six
liquor shanties"
and
dumped
gallons
of
whiskey
into
ditches.
The
company
finally
decided
to
control
the
amount
of
whiskey
dispensed
to
ward off
cholera.
By
the
summer
of
1853,
about
40
miles
of
the
5'6"
gauge
rail-bed
with
its
white
oak
ties
and
the
first
two
railroad
tunnels
west
of
the
Mississippi
were
completed
to
the
Franklin
County
line
and
opened
to
traffic.
Passengers could
travel
from
Kirkwood
to
St.
Louis
for
50
cents
round
trip
and
newspapers
began
reporting
the
arrival
of
wheat
by
rail
into
the
city.3
Land
values
doubled
and
tripled.

'
The
Missouri
Intelligencer
reported:
Towns
shoot
up
and
sprinkle
themselves along
the
route
of
a
railroad
as
naturally
as
buds,
blossoms
and
fruit
issue
out
of
the
sap
and
cluster
round
the
bank
of
the
fruitful
bough.
...already
on
the
line
of
the
Pacific
Railroad including
only
its
first
division
we
have
the nuclei
of
no less
than
six
towns....38
The
railroad
and
its
promoters
lent
names
to
the
new
commercial
centers--
Chittenham,
Kirkwood,
Allenton,
Webster
College,
Sulphur
Spring
Village
and
Franklin.
Hopes
were
high;
the
railroad
had
thus
far
overcome many
obstacles
and
a
return
in
the
form
of
increased
land
values
and
the
development
of
new
trade centers seemed
to
warrant
the
exuberance
expressed
in
the
railroad
songs

Among
the
Board
of
Directors,
the
optimism
assumed
a
more cautious
note.
Con
tinually,
they
confronted
the
problem
of
undercapitalization
and the
need
to
find
new sources
of
capital.
At
the
start,
the
St.
Louis
promoters
determined
to
raise
their
capital
locally
and not
go
to
New
York,
Boston
or
Europe.
40
They
planned
to
rely
on
individual
and
corporate
subscriptions
which
would
be
supple
mented
by
state
appropriations
and
federal
land
grants.
Subscriptions
from
the
private
sector
were
insufficient
to
support
the
construction;
thus,
railroad
promoters
worked
at
tying business
to
government
and
securing
funds
from state
and
federal
sources.
The
Missouri
General
Assembly
finally
agreed
to
take
first
mortgage
on
the
railroad
in
the
amount of
two
million
dollars
in
1851.
4T
It
was
not
until
1852
that
Congress
passed
the
land
grant
bill
to
aid
the
Pacific
Rail
road.
From
1850
to
1865
the
company
was
capital
deficient.
By
the
time
it
realized
the
necessity
for
outside
capital,
most
of
the
outside
sources
had
al
ready gone
to
the
Chicago
railroad
system.
43
The
Civil
War
delayed
the
railroad
in
its
attempts
to
reach
Kansas
City.
By
1859,
the
Company
saw
163
miles
completed,
but
stockholders
waited
until
Sep
tember
20,
1865.to
witness
the
arrival
of
the
first train
in
Kansas
City.
44
time
lapse
between
1830,
when
St.
Louisians
first
saw
a
locomotive,
and
1865,
bore
heavily
upon
the
railroad
promoters'
first
dreams
and
visions.
The
Missouri
Pacific
failed
to
become
the
"head
which
united
the
two
ears"
as
William
Gil
pin
had
so
fervently
hoped.
Omaha
and
the
Union
Pacific
Railroad
would
assume
that
distinction.
Still,
the
Missouri
Pacific
boldly
stretched
itself
across
the
State
connecting
not
only
Kansas
City
and
St.
Louis,
but
also
sending
branch
lines
into
Springfield
and the
whole
southwest.
The
Museum
of
Transport, which
presently
occupies
the
area
between
the
tunnels,
is
a
non-profit
educational
organization
supported
by
more
than
700
members
and
operated
by
a
board
of
directors
elected
by
the
membership.
It
was
incorporated
in
May,
1946
for
the
purposes
of
permanent
preservation
and
exhibition
of
his
toric
transportation
devices
and
equipment,
establishment
of
a
library
of
trans
portation
literature,
and
to
provide
facilities
for technical and
academic
re
search
into
various
problems
of
transportation.
The
survey
of
Missouri's
historic
sites
is
based
on
the
selection
of
sites
as
they
relate
to
theme studies
in
Missouri
history
as
outlined
in
"Missouri's

therefore,
