Gotthard Base Tunnel and the Occult
The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) in southern Switzerland, cuts through 35.5 miles of the Swiss Alps. A strange event took place during the opening.
It’s not my job to run the train, | The whistle I don’t blow. | It’s not my job to say how far | The train’s supposed to go. | I’m not allowed to pull the brake, | Or even ring the bell. | But let the damn thing leave the track |And see who catches hell!

Introduction
The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) in southern Switzerland cuts through 35.5 miles of the Swiss Alps. It is the world’s longest and deepest railway tunnel (8,000 feet deep at its max). GBT is an engineering marvel. A large and well-orchestrated opening ceremony marked the end of construction and the beginning of its operation—an extraordinary event.
GBT Overview
The GBT opened on June 1, 2016, after 17 years of work. The 31 million tons of cut and blasted rock could build five Egyptian Giza pyramids. The tunnel reduces the travel time by 50% compared to the old route from Zurich to Milan. Due to the reduced grades and minimal curves, the maximum speed of passenger trains is 160 mph. The operating speed is 143 miles per hour. The tunnel is about four miles longer than the Channel Tunnel (a.k.a. Chunnel), connecting France and England. Like the Chunnel, the GBT has two parallel tunnels for trains, one for each direction.
In 1992, the Swiss voted on a referendum to fund the project. With 64 percent of Swiss voters agreeing to proceed, the first preparatory and exploratory work began in 1996. The official start of construction began on November 4, 1999. Plans included four access tunnels to cut construction time in half. That enabled construction to start at four different sites. At 1,066 ft. intervals, an emergency access pathway connects the two tunnels.
Trains can transfer between the tunnels in the two multifunction switching stations (a.k.a. interlockings) at Sedrun and Faido. These interlocking stations contain ventilation equipment and technical infrastructure. They also serve as emergency stops and evacuation routes to the surface. Electricity from hydropower plants supplies energy to 10,000 lights and 2,500 electrical cabinets. Without ventilation, the temperature inside the mountain reaches 115°F.
The track gauge is 4 ft 8+1⁄2 inches (predominant worldwide gauge). Train propulsion consists of self-propelled passenger trains (a.k.a. electric multiple units or EMU) and electric locomotives drawing 15,000 volt/16.7-hertz alternating current from an overhead catenary electric traction system.
The infrastructure includes tracks, switches, and overhead traction wire (catenary). Support systems include electric power supply, telecommunication, cables, safety, automation, and control. Tunnel boring machines (TBM) and traditional dynamiting paved the way through the mountains.
On October 15, 2010, the enormous TBM in the eastern tunnel broke through. The western tunnel breakthrough occurred on March 23, 2011.
On October 31, 2014, crews completed track construction. On October 1, 2015, the first test trains operated through the GBT.
The GBT track generally consists of dual-block concrete crossties with an elastomeric black “boot.” Once rails are in place and attached to the ties with resilient clips, crews make the geometric adjustments to the “skeleton track.” With the final alignment adjustment, gauge, surface, profile, and cross-level achieved, concrete gets poured up to the top of the boot. The photo below shows duo-block tie track construction.
The below presentation illustrates turnout (a.k.a. switch) construction.
Below is the final product.
GBT is part of the New Railway Link through the Alps (NRLA) project. That effort included the Ceneri Base Tunnel further south (bottom of the below map). That tunnel opened on September 3, 2020. “Base tunnel” means bypassing most of the existing Gotthard railway line, an 1882 winding mountain route (left side of the map below). Local trains continue to serve customers located along the old route. The new base tunnel establishes a direct path for high-speed passenger trains and heavy-haul freight trains.
The primary purpose of the GBT is to increase transport capacity through the Alpine mountains. It enables a shift of freight from trucks to freight trains. The contractor, AlpTransit Gotthard AG, handed over the GBT to the Swiss Federal Railways on June 5, 2016. The total projected cost of the project was 6.323 billion Swiss Franc, with a final price of 9.560 billion. Nine workers perished during the construction. RIP, my fellow railroad engineering workers.
The Strange and Occult
Upon completion of the GBT, officials celebrated the opening of the new rail line. That ceremony also mourned the workers who perished. My dear readers, draw your conclusion about this occult affair as shown in the following two videos. Very strange indeed.

Thank you for all the research you have done! Very weird indeed, not a good thing to watch at midnight. Parallels to the occult.
