A Swiss Inter City Class 500 EMU descends the Biaschina spirals on the south side of the Gotthard pass, as seen from a northbound train. Below the train another line that it will shortly run over can just be seen despite the dark and rainy weather. From December 2016 these trains, and all freight services, will run through the new Gotthard base tunnel and the scenic line through the pass will only see local services and tourist trains.
