Gotthard Railway art, Switzerland, 1936

 
This featured on the cover of a map issued for Gotthard railway travelers in 1936.  Although a little stylized, it is a realistic representation of the experience on the line with its horseshoe curves, loops and spirals on both sides of the alpine divide, making it one of the most scenic railway experiences in the world.
