We hope to be shooting before the end of the year. And an excavation
could happen in the Spring. Stay Tuned!

LA Times Features "The Tunnel"
The reporter Tina Susman recently toured the tunnel with Bob Diamond. Her article in the LA TIMES can be found here. The most interesting part of the article is a quote from the NYC DOT's Seth Solomonow.
In response to a question by Susman regarding the DOT's reluctance to allow an excavation, Solomonow said, "I'd think we'd consider it, but we want to see the right proposal."

NPR Interview with Bob Diamond
It's been a good month for "The Tunnel." I have never worked on a film that has received so much press and attention before a single frame of the film being shot. It's extraordinary.
On Monday, Bob Diamond was interviewed by Leonard Lopate on NPR's WNYC. The podcast is here under "Urban Exploration."
Bob does a great job explaining why the tunnel was built and why only a portion of the tunnel was filled in. He also discussed some of the mysteries still left to be discovered. It's a a great listen.

NY Times Article about The Tunnel
THERE are so many things you can’t do in the big, bad city, and you’d think that one of them would be climbing down a manhole when you’re not an employee of the Department of Transportation or the MTA or Con Edison. But you would be wrong.

What's Behind The Wall?
THE TUNNEL is an all-new documentary film chronicling one man’s obsession with 17 diary pages that could change the very fabric of American history. It is the story of Bob Diamond, a brilliant engineer who gave up a promising career to search for and ultimately discover the very first subway tunnel ever built — Brooklyn’s long lost Atlantic Avenue Subway Tunnel — a monument he was told didn’t exist.
Located at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Court Street in Brooklyn, NY, four stories below the street, lies an 880 yard testament to mankind’s incredible ingenuity. At the end of this netherworld lies a wall that may protect not only the oldest locomotive ever built, but also the missing diary pages of one of history’s most notorious assassins – John Wilkes Booth.
Our team of treasure hunters, seeks to raise enough awareness and support for this film to lobby state and local officials to allow us to knock down the far wall of the tunnel and excavate what evidence indicates is the resting place of the world's oldest locomotive.
