The Borden Tunnel is a 957-foot long, formerly abandoned, railway tunnel located about 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Frostburg, Maryland. The tunnel is lit with a series of motion activated LED lights powered by a solar panel located just north of the tunnel. It is now part of the Great Allegheny Passage rail trail.Allegheny Highlands Trail of Maryland, Cumberland, MD. "History Along the Trail: Borden Tunnel." Accessed January 13, 2010.
