#ssif — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

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.
