This engraving captures a moment in history on the Mont Cenis railway, showcasing J. B. Fell's innovative system in action. The locomotive depicted here is unlike any other, with its horizontal driving wheels gripping a central double-headed rail laid on its side. This unique design allowed for efficient and reliable transportation along the railway line.
The intricate details of the locomotive and railway track are beautifully illustrated in this 19th-century print, highlighting the advancements made in transport technology during this era. The image exudes a sense of power and progress as the locomotive steams ahead on its journey through Mont Cenis.
