083 Gotthard Railway South Ramp Summer 2005 (2): form Faido to Airolo - BEST GOTTHARD on YouTube

This is part 2: from Faido to Airolo
Part 1: • 082 Gotthard Railway S...
In summer of 2005 REOS visited the South Ramp of the
Gotthard Railway. This railway line crosses the famous
mountain region in the centre of Switzerland and is still one
of the most important connections between the North and
South Europe.
We follow the line from Biasca to Airolo. In addition to the
picturesque villages like Chiornico and Faido, and at Biaschina
and Dazio Grande we see the spectacular spiral tunnels that
enables the railway to gain height to cross the mountain pass.
We see different operators, due to the open access to the
line, running their freight trains over this route. We also
see local and international passenger trains, some stopping at
the small villages, on their way to and from the North and
South.
The new Gotthard base tunnel is under construction between
Biasca ,Bodio and Faido where there are the construction
sites that will bring the end of the Gotthard line seen in
this film.
We only use original sound recordings, without any additional
commentary or music, maps are added to point out camera
positions.
Running time; 60 minutes.
