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!

in reply to Jon Worth • • •For the views alone this #CrossBorderRail line is worth taking!
Approaching Ranzo-S. Abbondio ๐จ๐ญ - Pino-Tronzano ๐ฎ๐น
Jon Worth
in reply to Jon Worth • • •Ok. So this is border 4 of 6 today
The border is Ranzo-S. Abbondio ๐จ๐ญ - Pino-Tronzano ๐ฎ๐น but the border station is Luino, as the cliff at Pino-Tranzano is too steep for a proper station there

in reply to Jon Worth • •@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 โarcisate - stabioโ name is used for the new line that is in actual use for commuter trains)
