We welcome you to another video on the amazing Tenda railway. We've already featured BreilsurRoya Nice on this channel, this time we're travelling in the opposite direction, but instead of stopping in Breil, we'll continue to Tenda.
The line has a very interesting history some of which you'll learn about throughout the journey. First conceived in the 1860's, it was met with opposition in France for security reasons. Finally, construction started, but alas, a few years later, World War I broke out and it came to a halt. Finally in 1928, the line from Cuneo (Italy) through BreilsurRoya (France) to Vintimiglia (Italy) was opened, including a connection line from Breil to Nice.
The line suffered a lot during World War 2, with some structures being destroyed multiple times. Most of the line was left in a state of despair, but miraculously, it was restored and reopened in 1979.
More information to come. Enjoy your journey!
