Big Bend Tunnel

The Big Bend Tunnel is a location in the Cranberry Bog region of Appalachia in 2102.

Background
The Big Bend Tunnel was a railroad tunnel in Appalachia. It connected the New Appalachian Railway Red Line between Watoga and Lewisburg. After the war, many survivors took shelter in the tunnels.

At some point, the Brotherhood of Steel occupied the tunnel, using it as a checkpoint to stop the raiders from occupying it and to provide quick passage under the Savage Divide. After the fall of Fort Defiance and the destruction of the Brotherhood's presence in Appalachia, the tunnel was occupied by the Scorched, and the Fire Breathers sent a team to destroy the west entrance, but they were unsuccessful.

Layout
A long straight tunnel running East-West with a service/storage area (crafting stations) halfway through. The storage area requires a key which can be found in the East extension tunnel starting from this storage area.
