File:OutlineMapLoetschbergbahnSwitzerland.jpg shows the Frutigen to Brig section of the Lötschbergbahn in a bird's eye view.
The article with this graph was published in 1912 after the breakthrough of the Lötschberg tunnel on 31 March 1911. With work still in progress at the time the author estimated the line to open on 1 May 1913. The official inauguration took place on 15 July 1913.
Locations itemized in the graph are (links to German Wikipedia article if no English one existed):
- Station Spiez
- Station Heustrich-Emdtal
- Station Mülenen
- Station Reichenbach
- Station Frutigen
- Station Kandergrund
- Station Blausee-Mittholz
- Stop Felsenburg
- Station Kandersteg
- Lötschberg Tunnel:
- North Portal Lötschberg Tunnel
- Apex Lötschberg Tunnel
- South Portal Lötschberg Tunnel
- Station Goppenstein
- Station Hohtenn
- Station Ausserberg
- Station Lalden
- Station Brig
The original German caption of the graph in the cited publication was "Abb.90. Längenschnitt der Lötschbergbahn".
The author Dietler did not provide a copyright for the graphs used nor did he use specific citations within his article and listed sources as "literature" solely at the end of his chapter. It is not clear if he is the original author of any of the drawings or whether he copied them from one of the books or periodicals listed or from elsewhere. The most recent dated literature listed originates from 1904. Obviously all listed sources predate the publication of volume 2 of Röll's encyclopedia in 1912. Dietler lists the sources as follows below. Originals of the graph might be found there.
