'The Jungfrau Staircase' - a Railway Talk by Cecil J. Allen and certain others
The Jungfrau (i.e., 'The Maiden') is the third highest peak in the Bernese Oberland
Alps which are so famous a feature of Switzerland. For a long time 'The Maiden' was considered to be unconquerable even as far back as 1577 there was a legend to that effect - and it was not until 1811 that anyone reached the summit. In the next forty years only four attempts out of many were successful. Since then, however, the mountain has been climbed often. But though the ascent on foot is fascinating to skilled mountaineers it is impossible for most people, and to overcome this difficulty a narrow-gauge railway has been constructed. It was begun in 1897 and was not completed until 1912. The Jungfrau Railway is an engineering feat of a very wonderful kind, and Mr. Cecil J. Allen (who comes fresh from it) will have an interesting story to tell.
