| The Riviera in 1954
|
|
Nuovo!
Threephase engine E.431.015
was used for a photographic train that run along the whole line Genova-Ventimiglia in June 1954. This train was planned by FS themselves in order to document the original route of the Riviera di Ponente, as a new double-track route was planned to be built in the next years. The new route, mainly in tunnel, was opened in three steps in 1968, 1977 e 2001 and is not finished yet (luckily, I would say...)
All photos are from FS (they should all come from J. Ciganovic) and have been acquired from web site interrail.publinet.it, books (I 100 anni della linea ferroviaria Voltri-Savona and I 120 anni della linea ferroviaria Savona-Ventimiglia, by F. Dell'Amico) and magazines (iTreni, Voies ferree ed. it., TuttoTreno).
Of course they are not unpublished works; my idea was to collect and put in a unique place what now is spread along a large number of sources.
In this first picture, the train is leaving from Voltri towards Genova.
