San Marino's 1930s Electric Railway, And How Britain Wrecked It

On 12th June 1932 San Marino proudly opened its brand new electric railway. It was modern, clean, quiet, and well-used - but 12 years later it was gone. So what went wrong? I went to explore the old tunnels... and discovered the awkward truth.

Many thanks to Roberto and Ferrovie Abbandonate. You can find more photos and info about the San Marino railway (and a whole load of other abandoned Italian railways) here: https://www.ferrovieabbandonate.it/linea_dismessa.php?id=141
