The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.

There’s definitely gold there. My brother and I walked through the tunnel 10 years ago and found gold on the ceiling just by shining a flashlight on it. Maybe someday we’ll find out how much gold the old man found.

GPS coordinates to the sign/turnoff would be tremendously helpful…

Nancy Lee Schmidt
How cool! Sounds awesome!
Wonder if he’s related to my ex! Sounds like something his family would do!
Definitely worth a trip to see, take a flashlight though!
Went through the tunnel 35 years ago…there was a small building in front with pictures and artifacts there was a lady that would answer your questions along with a guest book you could sign.
“El Chapo’? maybe ?
Is that burro Schmidt tunnel
Yes
Great place to stop with your dirtbike out there .I’ve talk to the lady before she passed away
The Trona Railway runs near there and had a tunnel that closed due to a fire in the early 80s. Could be related.

Do the rails run the whole way through??
I don’t think so. I remember part of it being really low and narrow.
Oh i was gonna say like maybe I’ll build a mine cart and ride through it really slow lol

This tunnel was.dug by hand by the husband of the lady nick Pavelka mentioned, she never could give a reason as to why he dug it tho

How do you get there ??
Where’s that
It’s the burro Schmidt tunnel. My buddy drove. I’ll reply tomorrow with location. Need 4×4
Great story – what a Jackass (JUST KIDDING!)
Isn’t this the tunnel in Death Valley ? The tunnel was dug by William Burro Schmidt. Dude miss calculated and realized he dug the wrong way I think. Crazy what one person can do with his bare hands.
Schmidt tunnel is in Redrock park. He thought there was a vertical gold spike in the mountain so he dug sideways to try and hit it. There was no such spike. Like a week or so after he finished he died.
Road
Road dirt bikes there many times from Dove springs.
Oh hell ya I would go in a heartbeat
Be careful out there, we used to live at the base nearby. Some of the mines are still privately owned.
