The Koesltown Tunnel is a railway tunnel in Osage County, Missouri.It was built in 1903 by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad.When the Rock Island went bankrupt, this line was given to Union Pacific railroad under an Interstate Commerce Commission "directed service" order.At the end of 1980, UP leased trackage rights to the Kansas City Terminal Railway, and after a year, KCT stopped service on that line, due to track disrepair, and rot.Therefore, the line has sat unused since 1981.This is tunnel two of four on this line.

The next tunnel is the Freeburg Tunnel

Tunnel four is the Vale Tunnel

Tunnel three is the Eugene Tunnel
