Edit: I see 1 tunnel listed. No mention of a tunnel from MD to WV which would almost assuredly have to go under the Potomac river.
I don't want to sound like a condescending jackass, but I can't help it... do you think "underground railroad" literally means a network of tunnels connecting these places? There are a few short tunnels here and there, but mostly just a network of safe houses for slaves to hide on their mostly above-ground journey north.
