Train passengers between north and southernmost Switzerland will have to skip the world’s longest train tunnel
and go back to the longer scenic
route for months, rail authorities have said, after a freight
service derailed
and tore up
the track. Sixteen cars that jumped the tracks in last Thursday’s derailment remained stuck inside the 57km (35-mile) long Gotthard base tunnel in the southern Ticino region, national railway operator SBB said on Wednesday. No one was injured but the damage was considerable. Pictures showed, among other things, wine bottles strewn
along the tracks.
