Eastern Portal to the Mines

Eastern Portal to the Mines

This is the Eastern Portal of the tour section of the mine. It once served a real purpose, though today it's just for show. Above the portal on the left is the mine whistle, extremely loud due to the pneumatic pressure. It's blown at the end of every tour existing the underground portion and can be heard clearly for miles.
