Gotthard accident: Wheel defect pinpoints systemic safety flaw http://dlvr.it/TJCz38 #GotthardBaseTunnel #InDepth #RailNews #SUST

"The main purpose of the #GotthardBaseTunnel is to increase local transport capacity through the Alpine barrier, especially for freight on the Rotterdam–Basel–Genoa corridor, and more specifically to shift freight volumes from trucks to freight trains. This both significantly reduces the danger of fatal road crashes involving trucks, and reduces the environmental damage caused by heavy trucks." 1/3

The Gotthard Base Tunnel in the Swiss Alps is the longest train tunnel at over 57 km (35.5 miles) long. Opened in 2016, the majority of trains passing through it are freight trains: one of the biggest hopes behind its construction was to reduce the environmental impact and road dangers of heavy trucks.
