A ride over the #Vigezzina 🇮🇹 narrow gauge line earlier this week. I travelled on the afternoon regional for #Domodossola, a service, on the Italian section of the line, worked by a 1950s #SSIF ABe8/8 unit. It’s got opening windows, very much to the photographer’s delight.

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.

A few pictures of today’s 12:51 “Diretto” service from #Locarno 🇨🇭 to #Domodossola 🇮🇹. This is train #54 in the timetable, worked by two #SSIF ABe4/6 #Vevey units. Photos taken at Ponte Brolla, Intragna and Isella-Olgia.

#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.

Stopping by the roadside earlier this afternoon, we were overtaken by the #SSIF 🇮🇹 ABe6/6 unit 34 “Piemonte”, working the 14:04 regional service from #Domodossola to #Re. Next stop would be #Masera, where the narrow gauge line would leave the #Toce river plain, starting its steep ascent to the Valle Vigezzo.

Over the narrow-gauge #Vigezzina 🇮🇹 line in northern #Piemonte with the #Re to #Domodossola afternoon Regional. This is a charming #SSIF ABe8/8 unit, built in the late 1950s with a 1980s interior. It comes with opening windows, ideal for (quickly) taking a few fresh air pictures.

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 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.

#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.

The #Domodossola 🇮🇹 to #Locarno🇨🇭narrow-gauge line still sees units that were built in the late 1950s operating “Diretto” through services on a daily basis. On the photo which I’ve taken at Solduno S. Martino yesterday we see #SSIF ABe8/8 “Ticino” shortly before reaching Locarno.

Seen earlier today on the #SSIF #Vigezzina 🇮🇹 narrow-gauge line: unit ABe6/6 35 “Verbano” (built in 1968) is working the #Re to #Domodossola afternoon regional service. The train makes a short stop at #Malesco station. Mount #Gridone is visible in the distance.

Santa Maria Maggiore 🇮🇹 on the #Vigezzina #Centovalli railway line earlier this week: departure of the mid-morning “Diretto” to #Domodossola. #SSIF unit ABe8/8 22 “Ticino”, built in 1959, is working this service.

Good morning from the #Centovallina🇨🇭#Vigezzina 🇮🇹 railway. Leaving #Locarno, I’m the only passenger on the 08:51 “Diretto” to #Domodossola. From the rear of the train one gets a “faux cab-view” impression of the line.
At “Olgia2” crossover we meet another #SSIF ABe8/8 unit. These lovely trainsets were built in the late 1950s. Their refurbished interior design comes with a 1980s feel. 😉

The evening #Locarno🇨🇭to #Domodossola 🇮🇹 “Diretto” service worked by an #SSIF ABe8/8 unit - built in the late 1950s - seen at Ponte Brolla a moment ago.
And: the #Centovalli #Vigezzina railway line is 100 years old today. It opened on 25 November 1923. Well then: buon compleanno!

#Trontano 🇮🇹 in Val #Vigezzo earlier this afternoon. A wonderful autumn day. We see an eastbound “Diretto” for #Locarno🇨🇭and the “Regionale” for #Domodossola. Both are worked by #SSIF ABe8/8 units, built in 1959.
The car-body of an old passenger car is visible in a nearby park.
