"A former railroad yard, this urban park uses historical artifacts and exhibits to bring to life the controversial and danger-filled construction of the Hoosac Tunnel, one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century. The tunnel was dug 4.75 miles through Hoosac Mountain, linking Massachusetts to Albany, NY" [from website]; The Visitors Museum provides a 30-minute documentary film; Parking and admission is free; Note: The actual tunnel is still in use by trains and is reportedly haunted.
