Question for Leeedy:

Seems I recall you saying you worked in building 22 some years after Packard pulled out.

I have been wondering how they got the Merlins from 22 over to 84, Michigan winter weather not ideal for pushing an engine on a dolly over railroad tracks.

Saw a comment by someone in another forum that there is a tunnel under the tracks between the two buildings. He quoted an acquaintance who had worked in 84, iirc for Stone Container, that there is a steel door at the end of a sloping floor in the east wall of 84, "big enough to drive a car through" that was padlocked shut.

In your explorations of 22, did you see a corresponding door, or confirm the existance of a tunnel to 84? If so, about where is this tunnel?

Thanks
