#Masera 🇮🇹 on the #Centovalli #Vigezzina line is the last stop for westbound trains, before reaching #Domodossola. It is at the bottom of the steep descent from the heights to the Toce valley. Pictured is today’s afternoon local, worked by one of the charming narrow gauge ABe8/8 units from the 1950s.

Auch das älteste noch im Regelbetrieb fahrende Modell getroffen. #Centovalli #Masera #Domodossola #Piemonte

On the Italian side... #Italia #Centovalli

Unterwegs dann noch einige eher unerwartete Dinge gesehen: Einen blauen #VW #T2 mit #Foodtruck-Kastenaufbau, einen zum 🫕🚈 #Fonduezug umgebauten #Elektrotriebwagen der #Centovalli-Bahn (ein #FART 😇 ABe 4/6, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FART_ABe_4/6) in einer ehemaligen Kläranlage (https://graffland.ch/) und dort dann auch bei https://eltruckdecapucho.ch/ ein Choripán mit Chimichurri und eine Empanada gefuttert.

A photo taken yesterday while stopping for a break along the #Centovalli 🇨🇭 narrow gauge line: this is an R70 local bound for #Locarno, worked by one of the new #Stadler units.

S. Maria Maggiore on the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line earlier today: this is the #Domodossola to #Re afternoon local, worked by an 1950s ABe8/8 unit. The sunlit summits of the Monte Rosa mountains can be seen in the distance.

On the #Domodossola 🇮🇹 to #Locarno🇨🇭#Vigezzina #Centovalli narrow gauge line today. I’m travelling on a #VigezzoVision #Panoramico train, in a first row seat, right next to the engine driver. This comes with cab-ride views on the line ahead, and on the beautiful scenery. (The seat reservation fee was 4.00 EUR.)

The highest point on the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line from #Locarno to #Domodossola: S. Maria Maggiore, where we saw #SSIF unit ABe8/8 #22 #Ticino today. The unit, built in the 1950s, was working train #R262, the afternoon regional from #Re. And there’s a nice train station café.

S. Maria Maggiore 🇮🇹 on the #Vigezzina narrow gauge line at lunchtime today: pictured is the 10:51 #Locarno to #Domodossola service, stopping here right before noon and worked by a #Centovalli Express unit. The other bonus for the railfan: the plinthed tramcar, opposite the station building.
-
The #Centovalli 🇨🇭 line the other day: the new #Stadler units are currently performing local duties between #Locarno and #Camedo, but not yet international ones. (The latter station, and village, is located a few hundred metres from the Italian border.)
Picture taken at Ponte Brolla. -
A day out, enjoying spring and the little trains of the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line. Trains seen, or travelled on, range from the 1950s ABe8/8 workhorses to the brand-new #Stadler units, doing their first revenue earning workings these days, on the Swiss part of the line.

I'll be travelling through Centovalli by train at the weekend - and I'm already looking forward to that soooo much! 52km, 2 countries, 83 bridges and 31 tunnels. The laptop will probably stay closed for the whole two hours! 🤩🚞

#Camedo is the last station in #Switzerland for international westbound trains on the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line. #SSIF unit ABe8/8 23 “Ossola” was in charge of the 17:50 departure from #Locarno to #Domodossola today, pictured here while making a very brief stop at Camedo.

On the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 narrow gauge line, between #Locarno and #Domodossola, today.

A day out in, and above, Valle #Vigezzo 🇮🇹, its villages and pastures. Winter retreats to the highest mountains. Where the snow has melted away, the first heralds of spring make an appearance. And the narrow-gauge #trenino of the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 railway is never far away.
-
From the #Locarno🇨🇭 area, where the mainline trains run alongside the Lago Maggiore waterfront, westwards with the little trains of the #Centovalli #Vigezzina line to #Re 🇮🇹 for a visit of the Sanctuary and for lunch. Our train is a #Vevey ABe4/6 narrow gauge unit.
-
I’m really a fan of the little trains on the #Vigezzina 🇮🇹 #Centovalli🇨🇭 way railway, in particular of those with opening windows. #SSIF ABe6/6 “Sempione” worked today’s afternoon Regional to #Domodossola, under a perfectly blue sky.
-
S. Maria Maggiore station is the highest point on the #Vigezzina 🇮🇹 #Centovalli🇨🇭narrow gauge railway line. Pictured here is today’s 15:26 #Domodossola to #Locarno “Diretto” service, worked by a 1950s #SSIF ABe8/8 unit. Meanwhile, a plinthed tramcar seems to enjoy the autumn sun.
-
The rollout of the future #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 trainsets has started: one #FART @infofartsa #Stadler unit has been on exhibit at #Innotrans #Berlin. Another one is currently at Ponte Brolla, just outside #Locarno, and is visible through the keyhole (sort of) of their shed.
-
As international as it gets on the #Vigezzina #Centovalli railway line: today’s 15:26 #Domodossola 🇮🇹 to #Locarno🇨🇭“Diretto“ is seen here in both countries. The front part has already entered #Switzerland whereas the rear is still in #Italy: the border is right on the bridge.
-
The 1950s built, articulated, 8-axle railcars are still very much active on the #Centovalli🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line. #SSIF ABe8/8 22 “Ticino” is seen here between #Re and #Villette, about half way through its 09:51 #Locarno to #Domodossola “diretto” service. Photo taken last week.
-
The #Locarno🇨🇭to #Domodossola 🇮🇹 railway is currently celebrating 100 years of its existence. Recently, a locally brewed “birra cento” #Centovalli #Vigezzina beer has become available, on the trains and in a local supermarket right next to the railway line. Well then, cheers! 🍻

#1August is #Switzerland’s national holiday. Railcar ABDe6/6 31, together with its trailer B123, is out today on the #Centovalli line as #TrenoStorico decorated for the occasion (🇨🇭). At #Camedo, the trainshed is operating as pop-up restaurant (also decorated for the occasion🇨🇭).
-
Most regional services on the Italian side of the #Vigezzina 🇮🇹#Centovalli🇨🇭line are being worked by elderly railcars built in the 1950s and 1960s. They come with opening windows, very much to the photographer’s delight, and to the one of all other passengers on a hot summer day.
-
#SSIF unit ABe8/8 23 “Ossola”, built in the 1950s, is again in charge of the 17:50 service from #Locarno🇨🇭 to #Domodossola today. Picture taken a few minutes ago as the train climbs up to S. Maria Maggiore, the highest point on the #Centovalli #Vigezzina line. Mt. Gridone is visible in the distance.

The last #Locarno🇨🇭to #Domodossola 🇮🇹 through service of the day regularly brings an older #SSIF unit out on the #Centovalli #Vigezzina line.
I took this picture the day before yesterday, with ABe8/8 23 “Ossola” passing the stone arch bridge at #Malesco shortly before 7:00 pm. -
A day on the #Centovalli🇨🇭 #Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line. The #SSIF #ABe8/8 units, built 1956, are still going strong, including on the #Locarno to #Domodossola “Diretto” services. A “Birra 100”, brewed locally for the line’s centenary and for purchase from the #minibar trolley, comes in handy.

Erfreulicherweise hatten doch viele das #Centovalli oder #Domodossola als Ziel. Ich sitze wieder.
