Mont Cenis Railway scenery: the Dora Valley, near Salbertrand, 1871. 'The opening of the great railway tunnel through the Alps between Savoy and Piedmont, on the 17th September, has been followed, this week, by the opening of the short line from the tunnel's mouth to the Modane station of the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean Company's line in Savoy, by which means there will henceforth be uninterrupted traffic of goods and passengers between France and Italy...[View shows] the scenery on the Italian side of Mont Cenis, the Col de Clairée and Mont Genèvre, where the Dora Riparia flows down to join the Po at Turin. Some of the places in this neighbourhood are not only very picturesque, but have a high degree of romantic and historical interest, the remembrance of which may beguile the time of the railway traveller from the Bardonnèche mouth of the tunnel, in Piedmont, to the Bussolino junction on the Turin and Susa line'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
