It was the first north - south alpine crossing through the Swiss alps, directly linking the Italian canton of Ticino with the rest of Switzerland. Until the base tunnel was opened, it was the shortest trade route between north western Europe and Italy - a corridor of international freight and passenger traffic. The line was originally designed for steam operation. In 1913, the second transalpine railway was opened from Frutigen to Brig, known as the Lötschberg railway. This was electrified from the start - which was very early compared to the rest of Switzerland and Europe. The SBB also decided to electrify the Gotthard line in order to be less dependant on the availability of coal - which was much harder to attain during the wars. Electrification was completed in 1922, with power supplied by the SBB's own hydroelectric power stations in Ritom and Amsteg. Electric traction allowed trains to pull ever increasing loads at higher speeds as the technology of locomotives progressed. Locomotives like the legendary Swiss crocodile were developed especially for duties on the Gotthard railway. The BLS and SBB broke a number of world records with the powerful locomotives they developed, together with the Swiss machinery industries such as SLM, BBC, MFO & SAAS, some of whom would go on to form ABB, an industry leader in advanced machinery and electrical equipment today. The old Gotthard line has been somewhat empty since the base tunnel was officially opened in 2016. Most trains do and many must take the base tunnel due to weight, height or time restrictions. There are some exceptions such as gravel trains, which must use the mountain route because of issues with the dust they would leave in the tunnel. Below are some videos of the Gotthard route using the base tunnel, which is currently the longest railway tunnel in the world: Northbound:    • ★ 4K 🇨🇭Cab Ride Mendrisio - Bellinzona - O...   Northbound winter:    • ★ 2x🎥 🇨🇭Bellinzona - Basel cab ride with s...   Southbound:    • ★ 🇨🇭Cab Ride Basel - Bellinzona, Switzerla...   Video links: Coming I hope you enjoyed the video.
