On this place, between the stations Imperia Porto Maurizio and the closed
San Lorenzo-Cipressa, the new section of the railway line Genova - Ventimiglia
leaves the seashore and enters a very long tunnel; only the new station
TAGGIA ARMA is 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.

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.

Between Ventimiglia and Bordighera the travelling by train is still spectacular:
you enjoy the view on the Mediterranean Sea.

The spectacular seashore railway between LOANO and ALBENGA on the Riviera dei Fiori

The railway line Ventimiglia - Genova Piazza Principe shortly after the
station of TAGGIA ARMA. On September 21th, 2001 the last train passed there.
The new station with the same name is very far away from the seashore.

On this track between the stations TAGGIA ARMA and SANTO STEFANO-RIVA LIGURE
on the Riviera dei Fiori (The Flower Riviera) in Italy were running trains
until 21.09.2001; last year on the same day I passed here by train;
this summer I was crying because the spectacular seeshore railway was closed.

The spectacular seashore railway line Genova Piazza Principe - Ventimiglia
between San Lorenzo-Cipressa and Santo Stefano-Riva Ligure. This section was
closed on September 24, 2002. Now you travel between Bordighera and
Imperia Porto Maurizio through a very long tunnel and can not enjoy the
daylight and seaside view any more!
