Oops International<\/span><\/p>\n The Gotthard “Base” Tunnels (two single track tunnels each 35.5 miles long) opened in 2016 by-passing the old Gotthard pass line and speeding trans-Alpine traffic mightily.<\/p><\/div>\n … and here is a diagram showing what lies in the tunnel way below.<\/p>\n There is a safety platform in case evacuation of passengers is needed …<\/p>\n … and the two separate tunnels are joined by crossovers.<\/p>\n There are also fire doors like the one below to seal off any section where fire is burning or possible.<\/p>\n There are lifts to the surface …<\/p>\n … plus other safety systems. So strict are the safety rules for passenger trains, that the undamaged tunnel cannot be used for passengers because it is a requirement that the second tunnel MUST be available either to get trains out via the crossovers or to evacuate stranded passengers.<\/p><\/div>\n … and the derailed wagon(s) severely damaged one of the safety critical fire doors.<\/p><\/div>\n Wrong picture!
