#Luino 🇮🇹 station and yard are home to some - long withdrawn - pieces of railway history. Pictured here are a rake of former Swiss “lightweight” carriages, which terminated their career with “Ferrovie Nord Milano”, and an #FS class E.428 #quattroventotto electric from the 1930s.

Without a proper train station bar (☕️🍺🍷) a train station in Italy wouldn’t be a train station in Italy. Also in this respect #Luino 🇮🇹 doesn’t disappoint us. On top of that, the place retains a lot of charm from a long gone era. 👏

At #Luino 🇮🇹 station the current in the catenary changes from 15 kV AC to 3 kV DC. In the past this required a locomotive change (🇨🇭➡️ 🇮🇹 and v.v.). Modern multi-current locos - like the SBB class 193 #Vectron - just pass with lowered pantographs before continuing their journey.

A particularly scenic yet not very busy railway line along the southern shore of #LagoMaggiore, from #Cadenazzo🇨🇭 near #Bellinzona to #Luino 🇮🇹: single track with an S-Bahn type passenger service every other hour (plus quite some freight). Pictures taken earlier this afternoon.
