An 18th century report highlights plans for a twoyear Alps crossing using Napoleon’s road as a base, with a novel split engine able to tackle steep gradients. The twelveyear tunnel project to connect Italy and France would gain audio links now. The line would shield routes from avalanches, run twelve miles per hour, and carry up to 190 passengers per trip.
