Tierspital subway stop: Zürich

(click to enlarge)

Tierspital stop on the Milchbuck to Schwamendingerplatz subway. This tunnel was built for Zürich's planned U-Bahn. This project was, however, discarded in a referendum in 1973. The subway finally found a new use when a tram line was opened through it in 1986.
