"A former railroad yard, this urban park uses historical artifacts and exhibits to bring to life the... construction of the Hoosac Tunnel...dug 4.75 miles through Hoosac Mountain, linking Massachusetts to Albany, NY" [from website]; This is not a park in the usual sense, but mainly a museum/visitors center in a complex of restored rail yard buildings; Parking lot off Furnace Bypass or past the corner at the end of Furnace Street (42.697833, -73.114683); Note: The actual tunnel through the mountain is known to be haunted
