Iron sculpture, Brig train station
A gift from the municipality of Brig-Glis for the 100th anniversary of the Simplon Tunnel
In honor of the anniversary of "100 years of the Simplon Tunnel," the artist Edelbert W. Bregy created a monumental iron sculpture. Bregy's work "Connections" was appropriately anchored on the Brig train station square. Here at the train station, the connecting tracks meet, those of the Lötschberg and the Simplon line. These are two lines of the New Railway Transversal, which together face the future of the railway. And in front of the newly erected monument, the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway draws its narrow but far-reaching track. True to the symbolism of the iron sculpture, the MGB creates connections through the Alps, connecting the tourist centers of St. Moritz and Zermatt. Edelbert W. Bregy drew his idea from these connections, which forms the basis of his latest work.
