The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of railway transportation. The image depicts an imposing tunnel entrance, carved into the rugged mountainside. Its grandeur is emphasized by its horizontal composition, allowing viewers to appreciate the scale and engineering marvels of this remarkable feat.

The artist behind this engraving remains unknown, yet their skillful craftsmanship shines through every line and stroke.
