I didn't know about that tunnel train.
In our exchanges about bio weapons research, I'd forgotten to mention that I have some experience with the cleanup of some bio-chemical research- manufacturing sites. Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Umatilla, OR, Crab Apple site, Ill and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation "Animal Farm."
The Umatilla operation was ran by Raytheon, but the DOD used some of my personnel, from Hanford.
They all have some interesting stories.
In the early 1990s my company was invited to bid on a hurry up clean up of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. This was in advance of construction of the new Denver International Airport.
We didn't win the contract, thank goodness. An interesting fact about the Arsenal. It had a small group part of whose job it was to raise jack rabbits.
The other parts of their job was to release the rabbits then drive around the site searching for dead jack rabbits. It seems that jack rabbits are extremely sensitive to some of the gunk remaining there.
A lot of the gunk was in unmarked disposal sites.
The Hanford Nuclear Reservation Animal Farm is a little mentioned feature. It was a bio-chem weapons research center. In its' later days it was ran by Battelle.
It used many species of animals in its' research . Mainly Monkeys. It is sometime called The Monkey Farm. AS I recall, another animal that was favored were beagles.
During the course of it's operation, thousands of animals died and their bodies were buried , on site. Toward the end, an incinerator was built to cremate the remains.
I was at Hanford 1997-1998. At the time, it was rumored that Battelle had personnel, there to monitor the animals that were still alive.
In 1998 Hanford was a ticking environmental time bomb. It probably still is
