The New Rail Link through the Alps NRLA

The NRLA is the largest construction project in the history of the Swiss railways. Comprising three new base tunnels and additional access routes, Switzerland has created a modern link through the Alps. Thanks to the NRLA, more trains can travel through the Alps and reach their destinations more quickly. This is helping to shift freight traffic from road to rail in order to protect the Alps.
