Amazing Engineering
I cant pretend to be technically minded. I can fix a plug, erect a shelf albeit temporary, and my eyes usually glaze over when ever technical conversations about engines etc crop up .
I have to amazed though, at the engineering achievements that have been accomplished in the Alps, particularly around Interlaken.
The near vertical funicular railways, cable car gantry’s erected at incredible heights and angles not to mention the miles of tunnels blasted through mountains. Some of these successes accomplished over 100 years ago without the use of modern methods and machinery.
It was worth the journey to see and ride these amazing machines. K
