Gotthardbahn
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Gotthard railway.
The Gotthard railway (German: Gotthardbahn; Italian: Ferrovia del Gottardo) is the Swiss trans-alpine railway line from northern Switzerland to the canton of Ticino. It is named for the Saint-Gotthard Massif, through which it passes. The line forms a major part of an important international railway link between northern and southern Europe, especially on the Rotterdam-Basel-Genoa corridor. Construction was financed by the Gotthard Railway Company (German: Gotthardbahn-Gesellschaft at Lucerne).
