A RAIL BRIDGE WITH A 120 M SPAN

PONT-RAILS DE 120 M DE PORTEE

In October 1977, the Simplon Line was cut as the result of a violent storm. Near Verbania-Pallanza, Italy, one of the two piers of the double-track bridge crossing the Toce was destroyed. A prefabricated SKB (Schaper-Krupp-Bundesbahn) bridge was placed at the FS's disposal by the DB, and was erected in four successive stages.
