The Summit Tunnel in England is one of the oldest railway tunnels in the world: it was built between 1838 and 1841 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway beneath the Yorkshire Pennines. The tunnel is located between Littleborough and Walsden (near Todmorden) and created a vital gateway between Manchester and Leeds.
