Old line: Obsolete 1956 tunnel on Monte Carlo territory. Rail is fastened
directly on concrete ground. As no white Monte Carlo Policeman pops up and no
CCTV caught me, I make my way through this short tunnel to the Devoté Valley.

Old line: The tunnel of the previous picture leads to this bridge over the
Devoté Vallon. I quit the 1956 line here. Inside the mountain, the tunnel
continuing on the left joins the new 1999 tunnel after some hundreds dark
meters. In the sunny background, a slim road bridge spans the same valley.
This road follows the very old (1867) alignment the railway had prior to 1956.

Piéne-Haute station (F), 10.07.1999. Look at the double-track side tunnel: a detail not too rare on this line.

The spectacular Tende railway line: Cuneo - Breil-sur-Roya - Nice/Ventimiglia.
This railway line was completely destroyed in the Second world war. Destroyed
bridges and stations as well as burnt out locomotives and cars stayed until the 70th years.
There was an idea to close definitively this railway line. In the 70th years the destroyed bridges,
tunnels and railway lines were rebuilt, but many station buildings remained damaged and do
not provide any service to the passengers any more.
Nowadays this line is a very important railway link: Torino - Cuneo - Ventimiglia and Torino - Nice.
After Limone the line is not electrified.
