... that the Albis Tunnel (built 1894) was the second-longest railway tunnel in Switzerland at its time?

- Comment: First DYK, so let me know if I messed anything up. Happy to run it without the image as well. ALT1 is for if a fact about the present railway traffic is preferred over the historical fact.

Moved to mainspace by YuniToumei (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

The article looks good and the hook is interesting. The image is freely licensed. The hook matches the article and I don't speak German so I can't verify the source. (I haven't reviewed ALT1). Personally I would remove the "(built 1984)" and change the ending so it says "when it was made" or something similar (I'm unfamiliar with tunnel terminology).
