DescriptionFreggioAndPratoSpiralTunnelsBetweenRodi-FiessoAndFaidoStationsOnSouthernRampToGotthardTunnel.jpg |
English: Outline of the Freggio and Prato spiral tunnels between the Rodi-Fiesso and Faido stations on the southern ramp to the Gotthard tunnel. Going down the southern ramp of the Gotthardbahn after the Gotthard Tunnel the line passes the station of Rodi-Fiesso in a 90° left turn, crosses to the left side of the Ticino River (Tessin) valley. There it passes the 270° Freggio Spiral Tunnel in a left turn into the left side of the valley. Leaving the tunnel the line crosses again the Ticino River valley to proceed a kilometer on the right valley side before moving through the 360° Prato Spiral Tunnel in a right turn into the right valley side. Exiting the tunnel the line crosses again to the left valley side bridging smaller streams before passing through the Faido station and continuing the decent down the southern ramp. |

The original German caption of the graph in the cited publication reads "Abb. 290. Linienentwicklung bei Dazio Grande (Ferggio- und Prato-Kehrtunnel)."
No scale or legend was provided with the map other than the travel distance along the Gotthard line from Immensee indicated for each full kilometer by a small circular mark and the specified distance in km. A hight information is also not provided.
Some of the notations on the map are hard to resolve and prone to be misread or misinterpreted. This includes, but is not limited to the two station names and the name of one of the spiral tunnels, which are the more prominent features marked in larger letter type compared to others. Here the correct name is used with a possible misinterpretation shown in brackets and in the case of the two stations their travel distance from Immensee as interpreted from the data provided in the map:
Rodi-Fiesso Station (Rodi-Tiesso) 97.8km
Faido Station (F??ido) 106.0km
Prato Kehrtunnel (Prxte Kehrtunnel)
These distances match the ones currently listed for the stations in the route diagramm of the Gotthardbahn. Tessin is the Ticino River.
