Hi Folks, The final section of the Furka Bergstrecke in Switzerland was reopened yesterday. The newly reopened section boasts a retractable rack section at a road crossing in Oberwald, two viaducts, and the famous helical tunnel. Check out the official video at URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tg7d7PjD_E&translated=1 Best Regards, Glenn PS - As a side note, I believe the final section of the Weisseritztalbahn, between Dippoldiswalde and Kipsdorf is also supposed to reopen this year. PPS - And don't forget the recent unveiling of the locomotive "Lyd", a full-size, working replica of a Lynton & Barnstaple "Manning Wardle" by the Ffestiniog Railway. Big year for the narrow gauge - and I don't think the announcements for the year are done yet! |
