Completed in 1934, the Dotsero cut off connected the D&RGW Tennessee Pass and D&SL Moffat Tunnel routes. The beginning was near the confluence of the Colorado and Eagle Rivers. The end, near Bond, CO, was appropriately named Orestod, which is Dotsero spelled backwards.
Ferdinand Hayden published an extensive survey of central and southwest Colorado in 1877, and used the location of the town of Dotsero as his "Dot Zero" (reference point) for his survey maps.

Really just basements. The Shanghai Tunnels, less commonly known as the Portland Underground, are a group of passages running underneath Old Town/Chinatown down to the central downtown section of Portland, Oregon, United States. The tunnels connected the basements of many downtown hotels and bars to the waterfront of the Willamette River. They were built to move goods from the ships docked on the Willamette to the basement storage areas, which allowed businesses to avoid streetcar and train traffic on the streets when delivering their goods.
However...
If you’ve ever heard Portland referred to as the Forbidden City of the West and wondered why, a visit to the Shanghai Tunnels could clear things up for you. Then again, it could just raise more questions about a legend that persisted for over 150 years.
If you aren’t familiar with shanghaiing, it refers to the capture and illegal sale of able-bodied men to sea captains in need of crewmen. Unscrupulous (to say the least) middlemen kidnapped men and sold them off to captains for as little as $50 a head. These poor men were then forced to work on ships bound for the Orient with no pay. According to legend as well as some historical data, men were shanghaied in Portland from roughly 1850 to 1941. Things were supposedly at their worst during Prohibition.
It almost sounds too bizarre and horrific to be little more than a myth or legend, but shanghaiing did take place. It was a practice that occurred in Portland as well as other locations along the West Coast. What is questioned is the means by which it was carried out in Portland, and the relationship if any between the Portland Underground and shanghai practices.
The Shanghai Tunnels or Portland Underground consist of tunnel passages linking Portland’s Old Town (Chinatown) to the central downtown area of Portland. The basements of many downtown bars and hotels were linked to the Willamette River waterfront through the tunnels, allowing supplies to be moved from ships docked there directly to basements for storage. Although many residents used to doubt it was true, the catacombs snaking beneath the city do in fact exist.
Since the mid-19th century, stories have been told about shanghai practices in Portland. Not only men but women, too were warned to take care against being drugged or kidnapped and hauled off for sale. Women were allegedly shanghaied for use as prostitutes rather than ship’s laborers. Although other ports along the West Coast including San Francisco are said to have been centers of shanghai activity, Portland’s underground tunnels are claimed to have made the practice much more manageable and wide-spread than in other areas.
According to those theories, victims were either drugged, kidnapped while intoxicated or simply knocked out, then dropped or dragged into the tunnels through trapdoors called deadfalls. Once in the tunnels, they were locked in specially designed prison cells and held captive until they were shipped off as slave laborers.
Portland Headline, 1908- During Prohibition, it is said that bars moved their operations underground, as well, making it easier than ever for unsuspecting victims to be shanghaied. Some researchers estimate that as many as 1,500 people a year were shanghaied through Portland’s Underground. Entire scenarios about the practices and experiences of the shanghaied in the tunnels have been created and elaborated on over the years.
The catacombs beneath Portland do exist and the stories almost sound plausible, but is the legend true? What evidence exists to support the allegations that these tunnels were used for shanghaiing? Is there any evidence at all?
You can take a tour aimed at demonstrating the validity of the Shanghai legend and decide for yourself, but so far the evidence does appear to be scanty to say the least. You can imagine that what is there, could have been created any time rather than during the 19th century. The persistent oral history of the legends is somewhat convincing, but remember historians don’t doubt shanghaiing took place in port cities of the West, including Portland. What they doubt is the connection between the tunnels, the basements of hotels and bars, and the kidnapping.
There is no historical record or evidence of shanghaiing being practiced in the tunnels from the time period it is said to have taken place. In fact, the earliest mention of a connection between the practice of Shanghaiing and the tunnels dates from the 1970s. Historians assert that even in the event of a massive cover-up effort, it is unlikely there would be no evidence of the practice whatsoever from the era when it was supposedly at its peak.
Evidence may finally be forthcoming, and if it is as convincing as promised, it could settle the question about Portland’s Underground once and for all. Michael P. Jones is the founder of a group offering tours of Portland’s Underground and is a proponent of the Shanghai Tunnel theory. He claims to have obtained undisputable evidence of the practice that will be revealed in a forthcoming book. The evidence supposedly consists of documents, photos and other proof of Shanghai activity.
Until the book is released or other proof surfaces, the legend of Portland’s Shanghai Tunnels remains just that – a myth individuals must decide about for themselves. Being able to explore the legend and form your own opinion is of course what makes the Shanghai Tunnels so appealing. If proof finally does come out confirming the story, it’s doubtful it will make the legend any more or less interesting than it already is.
One question that will probably come to mind on your visit to Portland’s Tunnels may haunt you more than what you believe you see. If history already confirms that shanghaiing took place in Portland, why on earth wouldn’t the tunnels have been used as a means of transporting the kidnapped?.

DOT Art partnered with DOT Public Space and the Chinatown Partnership to present an asphalt art mural as part of the 2019 Seasonal Street along Doyers Street between Pell Street and Bowery in Chinatown, Manhattan. Titled, “Connected Stories,” by Dan Monteavaro (Moncho 1929), the intertwined shapes and colors were designed to represent inclusion of visitors and residents within the surrounding community. “Connected Stories” was the second iteration of asphalt art as part of the Doyers Street Seasonal Street.
DOT Public Space works with community partners to produce Seasonal Streets, which temporarily transform streets into vibrant public space and feature movable furniture, programming and other amenities.

i've come to realize,
every little glimpse, you fade.
i was told that i could fly,
when least expected,
you can buy this print here.
When we arrived this morning this spot was packed with photographers. At the end of the morning it was empty! Yay!
Our Lady, Help of Christians, is depicted as Queen with crown and scepter. This chapel portrays her as an image of strength and forbearance. The title derives from a 16th-century prayer the Litany of Loretto.
St. John Bosco, founder of the Salesians, invoked Mary under this title. Mary has blessed his congregation, which donated the chapel to the National Shrine, with prosperity. Since 1855, this religious Order, dedicated to the service of young people and the underprivileged, has grown to one of the largest congregations in the Church.
The altar reredos features Pope Pius IX, who approved the Salesian rule, standing with a modern family. To the right is a boy saint, Dominic Savio, with St. John Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello, co-founder of the Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians. The girl is Laura Vicuna, a devout South American who was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1988.
On the altar below are various elements from the Salesian coat of arms. The monogram 'MR' (Maria Regina) with the anchor connected reminds us of Mary, Mother and Queen. Other symbols represent the Marian titles Mother Most Pure, Mother of Christ, and Morning Star.
The crowning symbol of honor to the Mother of God is the mosaic field above her head: a triangle representing the Trinity and the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Arduino is connected via serial (over USB) to a PC, which sends commands such as "press left". The Arduino translates the commands to pulses on its digital outputs. Each pulse closes an optocoupler, making contact from one group to the other. The USB controller from the keyboard then sends a key press to the USB host.
