The Anything Tunnel is a railroad tunnel painted on one of the corners of the mural in Shining Time Station. Along with The Picture Machine and Mr. Conductor's Magic Bubble, the Anything Tunnel served as the show's means to show music videos and segments. It would often show animated or stop-motion videos (by using really old cartoon footage in the public domain).
In Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Junior and Lily used it as a way to get to the Island of Sodor.
