European Railroad Discussion > Simplon Tunnel Switzerland Italy part one

here are 3 clips i made   on the 'Simplon'  line

going south into the 1905  tunnel from Brig

then a scene at Iselle de Trasquera on the Italian side

then arriving back in Swiitzerland in the 1921 tunnel

 travelled through both tunnels

the Swiss loco pushes  the consist south and  then hauls it back  north as a rule on a shuttle service

the carriage at each end is used by a few locals such as myself and the occasional railway worker

the passengers stay inside their cars for the trip roll on roll off mode

the heavy rains created a few waterfalls at Iselle DeT

quite a few freights and helper engines  use the line but i wont be able to upload more videos till next month

a map i used is  included for reference

Great video, It's nice to see how the rest of the world live.  Thank's for sharing.

Thanks for documenting these not so often seen views to the tunnel and its portals! Like especailly video #3, coming out of the tunnel with both impressive portals well visible.

I agree, great videos.

It would be nice (ish) if Switzerland were somehow typical of "the rest of the
world", but sadly I don't think it's quite like that!
