They sometime have also been referred to as the Factoryville Tunnels, since
they are located in Clinton Township, closer to Factoryville than Nicholson.

They still exist and as Vinnie points out, you can see from Route 11 in the
dead of winter when no leaves are on the trees. Attached is a Google image
where I have the approximate entrances (circled in red).

Also, here is link to Google Maps, so you can see yourself:
