Од светот

Железничките станици во Катовице и Краков, Полска. Полската државна железница во изминативе години изгради целосно нови објекти преку јавно-приватно партнерство со странски инвеститори. Имено, им понуди на инвеститорите да изградат трговски центри со различни содржини, а во нив да ги вградат железничките станици.

Интересно изгледа концептот од Зара во воз, иако за македонски услови е поприлично збунувачки фактот ко во „Сити мол“ да чекаш воз.

Да, задржана е старата фасада под новата конструкција. Интересен концепт.

The world's longest and deepest rail tunnel has officially opened in Switzerland, after almost two decades of construction work.

The 57km (35-mile) twin-bore Gotthard base tunnel will provide a high-speed rail link under the Swiss Alps between northern and southern Europe.

Switzerland says it will revolutionise European freight transport.

Goods currently carried on the route by a million lorries a year will go by train instead.

The tunnel has overtaken Japan's 53.9km Seikan rail tunnel as the longest in the world and pushed the 50.5km Channel Tunnel linking the UK and France into third place.





The project, which cost more than $12bn (£8.3bn) to build, was endorsed by Swiss voters in a referendum in 1992. Voters then backed a proposal from environmental groups to move all freight travelling through Switzerland from road to rail two years later.

The completed tunnel travels up to 2.3 km below the surface of the mountains above and through rock that reaches temperatures of 46C.

Engineers had to dig and blast through 73 different kinds of rock, some as hard as granite and others as soft as sugar. More than 28m tonnes of rock was excavated, which was then broken down to help make the concrete used to build the tunnel.



Now the completed tunnel, delivered on time and within budget (!!!), will create a mainline rail connection between Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Genoa in Italy.

When full services begin in December, the journey time for travellers between Zurich and Milan will be reduced by an hour to two hours and 40 minutes.

The tunnel's course is flat and straight instead of winding up through the mountains like the old rail tunnel and a road tunnel opened in 1980.

About 260 freight trains and 65 passenger trains will pass through the tunnel each day in a journey taking as little as 17 minutes.

The tunnel is being financed by value-added and fuel taxes, road charges on heavy vehicles and state loans that are due to be repaid within a decade.

Swiss bank Credit Suisse has said its economic benefits will include the easier movement of goods and increased tourism.

Nine workers died in accidents while the tunnel was under construction.

Four were Germans, three Italians, and one each came from South Africa and Austria, according to German news agency dpa. They are commemorated by a plaque near the northern end of the tunnel, Swiss media report.

Во секој случај е откачено

и ова е еден вид на туристичка атракција. повеќе можи да се добие него што можи да се изгуби

Ех, кога јас би начекал бувљак ..............

Слично делува и „Сименс“, каде во шасијата и подножјето од локомотивата, која наликува на BR185/189, се вградува дизел-електричен погон на местото од „електриката„.

Ваква локомотива досега не сум видел-лик на дизелка, а електромоторна

а што е фората со три парни локомотиви во спрега? големи успони па треба поголема снага?
