Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train. In this case, it is. The construction of Flamsbana tunnels started in 1924, and the first tunnel was completed in 1926. Eighteen of twenty tunnels were excavated by human hands; no hard machinery was used. The workforce required for the construction of this project varied from 120 to 220 laborers. This marvelous hand-made construction was done by drilling up to 4.2 meters through the rock, filling the holes with dynamite, and blasting.
The last tunnel of Flamsbana was completed in 1935, and the actual railway tracks were laid down. Now can you only imagine how challenging this work was for all the men who directed all their energy so that today's travelers can awe in amusement from the most experiential train journey?
