Specially for @CptCheesyCrust - the moped parking spaces are large enough in Mendrisio that someone parked a Twizy in there 🙂

Cadenazzo

Wonderful valley. But in the shade on a December day and bounded one side by a big road and the other by a building materials works

There are nicer places to wait!

For the views alone this #CrossBorderRail line is worth taking!

Approaching Ranzo-S. Abbondio 🇨🇭 - Pino-Tronzano 🇮🇹

in reply to Jon Worth

Ok. So this is border 4 of 6 today

The border is Ranzo-S. Abbondio 🇨🇭 - Pino-Tronzano 🇮🇹 but the border station is Luino, as the cliff at Pino-Tranzano is too steep for a proper station there

@Jon Worth is pic 4 on the ferrovia della valmorea line? a few years ago it had been somewhat restored and used with historical trains, but then they stopped and I don't know whether they are doing basic mainteinance on it)

(usually the “arcisate - stabio” name is used for the new line that is in actual use for commuter trains)
