This might be it but is it a car?

Imagine the air quality in there. Or lack thereof.

6 or 12 mph...and its on rails...and its going to help control traffic?

sounds like management came up with this fantastic fool proof idea

Well we might have been a little more respectful back then but yeah upper management idea.

But the cops likely used to do the patrolling on foot before the train contraption arrived. So at least this was the faster way to check the tunnel.

That officer is apparently too sexy for his car, too sexy by far, and he does his patrollin’ on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk.

When I was younger, we drove regularly through the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel in VA. They had cars similar to this in those tunnels, as well as little guard shacks placed along the way. Presumably, those had some sort of ventilation. I also wonder if there were rules in place that dictated the amount of time the workers could stay in the tunnel.

How often can you really go much faster than that in the Holland Tunnel anyway?

Rotating tunnel shifts might have also worked. But health awereness wasn’t a big thing in 50's so maybe they just gave the annoying tasks permanently to the newly hired guys until they weren’t the youngest ones in the force anymore ?

Or alternatively they could give the tunnel shifts as punishment to the guys who had done something stupid but not stupid enough to get fired? DUI was probably such thing in the 50's.

We didn’t have any large enough tunnels in Finland that would have required constant surveillance until video monitoring became a thing .

Don’t know about that one, but I found this ad about the Lincoln tunnel equivalent:
