Using the railway station in Appenzell as the point of departure, a detonating fuse was placed along the 20.06-kilometre Appenzell - Gais - St. Gallen railway line, and burned at the rate of 150 seconds/metre for 35 days.
The detonating fuse, which is normally used for explosives, was not affected by rain or moisture. The actual burning of the fuse was not visible as an open flame, for the fire advanced inside a protective casing. The only indication of its location was a faint cloud of smoke. The sections of the 20-kilometre fuse, each measuring about 100 metres in length, were laid out successively.
