Framed Print of The proposed railway up the Jungfrau, Switzerland, 1890. Creator: Unknown
The proposed railway up the Jungfrau, Switzerland, 1890....the plans...have been entrusted to Colonel Locher, the constructor of the Mount Pilatus Railway...Herr Trautweiler intends to build a line entirely in the rim of the mountain, from the bottom of the valley to the top, in order that it may be completely safe from storms, avalanches, and landslips...The line will start from Stegmatten, ...2800 ft. above the level of the sea, whence it will run...in nearly a straight line, under the "Schwarz Monch" and the "Silver Horn, " to the summit, the length being estimated at 21, 450 ft. The entire line will be worked upon the cable-hauling system...There will be three stations within the mountain, at the altitudes, respectively, of 5000 ft. 8900 ft. and 12, 200 ft. at which last elevation will be constructed a platform for viewing the magnificent scenery. The incline of the first tunnel, the steepest, will be 98 per cent...The summit station will be situated at an altitude of 13, 000 ft. and this will be one of the loftiest railway-stations in the world...Both at the top and bottom there will be restaurants, &c. the former in a cellar cut out of the rock. Engraving from a tracing by Mr. S. Simon, of Basel, assistant engineer'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
