Immediately beneath is seen the glaringwhite straight line of the old Mont Cenis road, look-ing much more important than the dingy narrow littlestrip of railroad that has superseded it. The trainsthat pass along the line look no bigger than cater-pillars, but even at this distance they make a greatroar.
