Item description from seller

Print on Demand. Delving into the history of Alpine railway construction, this book provides an in-depth analysis of various proposed routes for crossing the Swiss Alps through the Simplon, St. Gotthard, and Lukmanier passes. The author presents a thorough comparison of three main approaches: high-altitude routes traversing mountain summits, mid-altitude routes employing a combination of tunnels and viaducts, and low-altitude routes relying primarily on tunnels. The book explores the technical, economic, and environmental implications of each approach, examining factors such as construction costs, operational efficiency, and scenic beauty. By contrasting these diverse perspectives, the author offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with conquering the formidable Alpine terrain, highlighting the crucial role of mountain passes in shaping the region's history and its future transportation network. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
