| | Jungfraujoch Railway - Jungfraubahn |
 | | His scheme never came to fruition, but the idea of a Jungfraubahn proved irresistible in a country where railroad track was already being laid between every city, town, and village that hoped to attract tourists. |
 | | Other ideas, including a tunnel big enough to hold a chalet-style hotel and an elevator to the summit, were proposed to investors over the next 30 years. |
 | | Work began on July 27, 1896 and was hampered by a series of disasters, including the accidental explosion of 30 tons of dynamite in 1908. |
