35-Mile Swiss Tunnel Opens to High-Speed Trains
 After 17 years and 11 billion euros, the first Gotthard Base Tunnel passenger train departed Zurich on Sunday morning. The express train will save passengers 30 minutes on the trip.Was Governor Moonbeam on hand? At 6:09 a.m. the EC11 express train to Lugano was the first regular passenger train to depart for the tunnel after thousands of test runs. I rode thru the Channel Tunnel this spring. Very boring.
