Tangadan Tunnel
About This Museum
Folks don't just come here for a photo under the old tunnel arch, though you'll certainly want to take one. They come to hear the echoes of history, to imagine the rumble of a train that hasn't passed through in decades. You can almost feel the cool, damp air holding onto whispers from a busier time. Itβs a quiet, almost haunting spot that makes you pause and think about all the stories these stone walls have witnessed.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the tunnel itself, a man-made marvel carved through solid rock. You'll also find old photographs and local tales about its construction and the vital role it played for the Ilocos railway.
Visitor Information
It's just off the road in San Quintin, easy enough to find if you're driving through. Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be walking on uneven ground, and your phone camera is all you need to capture its rugged charm.
Architecture & Building
A single-track railway tunnel built from rough-hewn volcanic rock and brick, with a classic arched entrance that has stood firm against the elements for generations.
