The Phoenixville Tunnel, originally called the Fairview Tunnel, was part of the Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley Railroad in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
After the First World War increasing competition from automobiles and trucks led to passenger train services being discontinued in 1928.
A large part of the ceiling has collapsed directly under Fillmore Street prompting a three-ton gross vehicle weight limit on the road above.
The Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley Railroad rail right of way has been developed into the Schuylkill River Trail, a multi-use recreational / bicycle trail.
A fairly steep hill parallels the abandoned tunnel.
