<p>Mike,</p> <p>I am afraid it´s not scenic enough to attract hundreds of thousands tourists from Japan and China, like the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express does.</p> <p>SBB has a reputation for a sensible attitude towards the Swiss Rail history, so let´s all hope the Swiss Federal government will shell out sufficient moneys to keep the line in service.</p> <p>With the Loetschberg base tunnel also being in service for a few years now, the same fate is waiting for the old Loetschberg line from Frutigen to Brig. Maybe not as famous as the Gotthard line, at least model railroaders know it from the famous Bietschtal viaduct, available as an HO kit from Faller.</p> <p>In any case, those planning a trip over either one of those lines should not wait for much longer.</p>
