Double track inside a portal becoming single track outside the portal

Apr 04, 2005 43 Replies

About the only likely situation would be one in which a previously double-tracked line has had one track removed, something that happens fairly often. I can imagine circumstances under which the tunnel would be left with both tracks, but they would be uncommon ones, such as climactic extremes that make covered trackage desirable. Or the track in the tunnel might be one end of a siding that needs to be in that specific location for geographic reasons, with the rest of the second track removed.

Bob,

Thanks for the heads up.

Out of curiosity I searched Amazon UK and found 2 copies of "The History of the Gotthard Railway", 1 new at 44.95 GBP and one second hand at 20 GBP.

Enjoy

I belive they only have one now.

I hope so!

Thanks, Paul
