They started the tunnel from both ends and the middle.....the middle you say? Yep. They drilled shafts from the top of the mountain and lowered drilling equipment to start digging from there.

The first syllable of that name, with the double t, is actually the Germanic pronunciation of The Almighty’s Name.
Don’t know what the translation of “hard” is.

I think the 2nd Avenue subway being constructed in NYC is over $2 billion per mile.

That's just those New York values surfacing..

Switzerland is one of the world’s best-kept secrets.

Gorgeous country and the people are truly great - absolutely awesome.
