There's not enough shadow to get the orientation but it's probably one of these two tunnels: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,498335,793574,7,9

Can't say much about the track but this is from wonderful Wikipedia: The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) on October 30, 1974 (at 4:00 am). Held at the 20th of May Stadium (now the Stade Tata Raphaël), it pitted the undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman against challenger Muhammad Ali, a former heavyweight champion; the attendance was 60,000. Ali won by knockout, putting Foreman down just before the end of the eighth round. It has been called "arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century". It was a major upset victory, with Ali coming in as a 4–1 underdog against the unbeaten, heavy-hitting Foreman. The fight is famous for Ali's introduction of the rope-a-dope tactic.

"Kiltimagh railway station ... was closed to passenger traffic in 1963, with goods traffic ending in 1975." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiltimagh_railway_station PS: According to www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf, goods closure was on 17.06.1963, whereas www.museumsofmayo.com/Kiltimagh1.htm indicates that the last goods train passed through the Station in 1979. PPS: From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Railway_Corridor: "Passenger services between Claremorris and Collooney ended in 1963, with the section being closed completely in 1975."
