The Domodossola-Locarno railway or 'Centovallina' is a metre-gauge railway between Domodossola, Italy and Locarno, Switzerland. It passes through the famous village of Intragna and carried over 1 million passengers in 2010. It is operated by the Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali Ticinesi (FART) in Switzerland and the Società Subalpina di Imprese Ferroviarie S.p.A. (SSIF) in Italy.[1][2]

Opened on 25 November 1923, the 52 kilometer long railway has 22 stations and takes approximately 2 hours to traverse the whole length. Valid travel documents are required to cross the Italian-Swiss border between the towns of Ribellasca and Camedo.

History

1978 flood

On 7 August 1978 a flood struck the railway causing CHF200 million worth of damage affecting almost 700 meters of track. Thankfully there were no injuries but reconstruction of the line lasted until the end of the year.[3]
