The Cricket Tunnel and Crest Tunnel are a pair of railroad tunnels in northern Arkansas, near the city of Omaha in Boone County. The Crest Tunnel, at 3,500 feet (1,100 m) is the longest tunnel in Arkansas, and is its only curved tunnel. Both tunnels were built by the White River Division of the Missouri Pacific Railroad in the early 20th century. The tunnels were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
