Image description

Contemporary representation of the staggered extension of the Gotthard railway tunnel with tunnel boring machines in a longitudinal section. The construction work lasted from 1871 to 1880. Louis Favre (1826-1879) was the leading contractor in the construction of the tunnel, then the longest railway tunnel in the world, and its completion was a technical masterpiece.
