On this place, between the stations Bordighera and the closed
Ospedaletti Ligure, the new section of the railway line Ventimiglia - Genova 
leaves the seashore and enters a very long tunnel; the seashore railway was
closed on September 24, 2001. Only the new station TAGGIA ARMA is now on the 
daylight; San Remo has now just an underground stop, very far away from 
the seashore. The new railway section has a double track and the trains run 
much quicker than before. But, I prefer the romantic travels on the seashore! 
I hate the new tunnel railway! It's awful! Always when I see this place I begin 
to cry; I stop crying when the trains leaves the tunnel again and when it 
continues to run on the seashore - shortly before Imperia Porto Maurizio. 
The section Imperia Porto Maurizio - Finale Ligure Marina is still on the 
seashore. But, in a few years it will be also transferred into a long tunnel and
the whole seashore railway line will be definitively closed.
