Mont Cenis Railway scenery: near Oulx, [Italy], 1871. 'The [recent] opening of the great railway tunnel through the Alps between Savoy and Piedmont...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...At the lower end of the Bardonnèche valley is a large village named Oulx, with a roadside chapel or shrine near it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
