 Iselle is the starting point of 19,8km long Simplon tunnel at Italian side. There is a car-carrying shuttle trains each 90min.

 The journey through the tunnel takes 20min

 On the other side of the tunnel it is Switzerland.

 Same "474 005" I saw earlier in Domodossola

 "Lötschberger" continues to Bern.

 Brig station

 From Wikipedia: "Brig railway station is an important railway junction in the municipality of Brig-Glis. Opened in 1906, it is adjacent to the northern portal of the Simplon Tunnel, and is served by three standard gauge lines and two metre gauge lines."

 This will be my hotel for tonight

 A short walk from the station, and I can spot the Simplon tunnel construction. There are two tunnels, the first one opened in 1906, the second one in 1921.
