June trip to Erstfeld   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #12430 of 12962 |
Hi all

Had a lovely break in Erstfeld at the beginning of June observing the
freight movements over the Gottard.

What will happen to the town when the new tunnel opens in 2012? Will the
depot still need to supply the support if loks don't go over the top?

Hotel Frosinn right opposite the depot really looked after me. Thank you

A few photos can be seen at the address below
