The station of VENTIMIGLIA - the border station. You see on the track no. 1 an SNCF locomotive. The station is electrified with the voltage 1,5 kV DC; the rest of Italy has the voltage 3 kV DC; The Cote d'Azur line (France) is electrified with 25 kV, 50 Hz AC. So, for technical reasons it is necessary to change the locomotive in this station. Photo and scan: Slobodan Ilic, July 2001 (slobodan.ilic@bluewin.ch) Upload: Aleksandar Salatic (asalat@mail.ru)
