PLUM! PFLAUME! SUSINO!
At 860 metres in the Centovalli, a wild plum blooms every March. The fruit ripens in August: small, sweet, impossible to catch before the birds do.

Down on the flat. Next stop Domodossola. A lovely journey, loads to see, interesting landscape and wonderful engineering. Recommend adding it to your list.
Hats off to the guy in the train that's just crossed us - he has a full bottle of prosecco open and a book to read.

Crossing trains at Gagnone-Orcesco. Descending now towards Domodossola. This stretch feels less perilous and wild but still going through a rugged landscape . #Centovalli #Speirgorm
Heading into Santa Maria Maggiore the highest station at 800m. It's getting a little more built up now with larger newer houses. #Centovalli #Speirgorm
Malesco station
It's noticeable that all the Italian stations, so far, have flags. #Centovalli #Speirgorm
We continue to climb through the mist. There was light snow around here last night. #Speirgorm #Centovalli

Ribellasca - first station (not stopping) in Italy.
Italy !
Leaving Camedo. Last station in Switzerland. The Ticino ticket covers the journey as far as here so it's an ideal option if you don't have an Interrail. #Centovalli #Switzerland #Italy #Speirgorm

Good morning. Time to take the FART to Domodossola in Italy. One of the older sets with panoramic views. #FART #Centovalli #Switzerland #Speirgorm
A photo taken yesterday while stopping for a break along the #Centovalli 🇨🇭 narrow gauge line: this is an R70 local bound for #Locarno, worked by one of the new #Stadler units.

On the #Domodossola 🇮🇹 to #Locarno🇨🇭#Vigezzina #Centovalli narrow gauge line today. I’m travelling on a #VigezzoVision #Panoramico train, in a first row seat, right next to the engine driver. It comes with cab-ride views on the line ahead, and on the beautiful scenery. (Seat reservation was 4.00 EUR.)
Bester Platz 😍

S. Maria Maggiore 🇮🇹 on the #Vigezzina narrow gauge line at lunchtime today: pictured is the 10:51 #Locarno to #Domodossola service, stopping here right before noon and worked by a #Centovalli Express unit. The other bonus for the railfan: the plinthed tramcar, opposite the station building.

The #Centovalli 🇨🇭 line the other day: the new #Stadler units are currently performing local duties between #Locarno and #Camedo, but not yet international ones. (The latter station, and village, is located a few hundred metres from the Italian border.)
Picture taken at Ponte Brolla.
Blick auf ein malerisches Steinhaus mit rosaroten Fensterläden im Bergdorf Verdasio, Tessin. Ein Balkon mit Blumentöpfen ragt über eine steinige, verwitterte Mauer hinaus. Im Hintergrund erstrecken sich grüne, dicht bewaldete Hügel und Berge unter einem bewölkten Himmel. Eine einzelne Palme steht neben dem Haus und verleiht dem alpinen Ambiente einen mediterranen Touch. Ein rostiges Metallgeländer mit einem verblichenen «Privato»-Schild grenzt den Weg ab.
Frühling im #Tessin, im kleinen Bergdorf Verdasio im #Centovalli. Da ist alles dabei: 🏔☀️🌱🌴🌲 Das Dorfbild gehört übrigens zu den schützenswerten Ortsbildern der Schweiz (ISOS).🏘️ Schönes Wochenende euch allen! 🙌😎

Centovalli ‘Ticino’ in Locarno, 12.6.1987.
This scenic lakeside street track through the town, the last remaining section of the Locarno tram network otherwise closed in 1933, has now sadly been replaced by a tunnel.

From the #Locarno🇨🇭area, where the mainline trains run alongside the Lago Maggiore waterfront, westwards with the little trains of the #Centovalli #Vigezzina line to #Re 🇮🇹 for a visit of the Sanctuary and for lunch. Our train is a #Vevey ABe4/6 narrow gauge unit.

As international as it gets on the #Vigezzina #Centovalli railway line: today’s 15:26 #Domodossola 🇮🇹 to #Locarno🇨🇭“Diretto“ is seen here in both countries. The front part has already entered #Switzerland whereas the rear is still in #Italy: the border is right on the bridge.
