As their locomotives will no longer have to scale the gradients as they climb to 1,100 metres at the start of the current Gotthard Tunnel, freight trains will be able to grow to up to 750 metres in length depending on their load.
Weil die Lokomotiven nicht mehr die Steigungen bis in 1100 Meter Höhe zum Beginn des derzeitigen Gotthard-Scheiteltunnels erklettern müssen, können die Güterzüge je nach Last bis zu 750 Meter lang werden.
