"The St. Clair River tunnel was the first railway tunnel in the world to pass beneath a river." Was it? How about Severn Tunnel, England-Wales, opened 1885-86; 4 miles 624 yds long? How about Mersey Railway tunnel, opened in Liverpool in 1886?
Is this the same as the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel?
This is not the first railway tunnel to pass under a river, the brunel tunnel in London passes under the Thames: "Originally designed for horse-drawn traffic, it opened in 1843 for pedestrians, became a railway tunnel in 1869 and now carries the East London Line."
