The Rimini-San Marino narrow gauge railway line, a major engineering project, was inaugurated in 1932. This rail link lasted about 12 years, until 1944, the train taking about an hour to cover the 32 km of track.
During World War II, the tunnels provided shelter to thousands of refugees seeking asylum in the small, neutral territory of San Marino.
The railway ceased to function when it was destroyed by air raids on 26 June, 1944.
In 2012, however, some parts of it were restored to preserve their great cultural and human value.

Unfortunately, only one carriage and a few hundred meters of track have been restored; I would have loved to ride up here. Instead, you can walk through parts of the tunnel (although access is prohibited here because the train is parked there).
