The 12.4 km long TMB (Tramway du Mont-Blanc) rack railway has been running from Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet station to the Nid d'Aigle in the Mont Blanc massif since 1913, with the first section to Col de Voza having been opened in the summer of 1908. A curious feature is the ‘naming’ of the vehicles: they have no identification or number but are named after the director's daughters, and each train has its own colour. At the hairpin bend between Le Fayet and St-Gervais, the Blue MARIE with the control car of the same name is on its way from the Col de Voza to the Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet train Station. 21 February 2026

A major day for the SNCF: Over this holiday weekend, a large number of passengers are traveling to the Alps for their winter sports vacations, while others are already heading back home. For this reason, I traveled to Saint-Gervais-des-Bains-Le Fayet to observe the TGV holiday traffic; at a station otherwise served exclusively by TER regional trains, there were quite a few TGV trains to be seen.

In Ventimiglia, slightly in the background, the FS Trenitalia iC 745 is waiting to depart for Milano Centrale. As is typical for this route, it is hauled by two E 414 locomotives, both of which, like the entire train, are sporting the new iC livery. Next to it, on the right, is the SNCF Z55519. The SNCF Regio 2N PHD train will soon depart for Les Arcs.

Arguably the most beautiful tram stop: perfectly integrated into the structure of Nice's port area, the Port Lympia tram stop is the terminus for lines 2 and 3, which run to the airport and Saint-Isidore, respectively. Alstom Citadis 405 trams are operated by Tramway de Nice on these routes.

From Finale Liguere to just past Alassio, the Genova-Ventimiglia line still follows its original route, which mostly runs along the coast and through towns. Thus, at the Borgio Verezzi stop, FS Trenitalia iC 659 from Milan (departing at 9:10) to Ventimiglia (arriving at 13:02) was photographed. The train is hauled by two E 404/414 power cars.
