I believe that the Castione-Cama line was closed permanently. --RKloti 00:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Castione - Cama is owned and operated by a tourist railway: Ferrovia Mesolcinese FM / SEFT. see the German Wikipedia Page http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellinzona-Mesocco-Bahn Teeschmid (talk) 10:06, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

I didn't find out how to indicate the 1000 mm gauge in the infobox and it still indicates standard gauge whatever i write. If someone could correct this.. Zacharie Grossen (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Info boxes[edit]

Some of the parameters given in the 2nd box should also be incorporated in the first box and vice versa. Peter Horn 15:13, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "Googling" of the line from Thusis to Tirano[edit]

I actually found this feature by accident. The Google link can be found at...

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=46.69845,9.440818&spn=0.000015,0.008143&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=46.698535,9.440758&panoid=_sGAnVdDGyuvNV2T-oGbNQ&cbp=12,173.77,,0,4.45

but it's way too long to insert into the article. There is a way to hyper-link it, but I have not got a clue how to do it. I'd be obliged if someone did.

If any interested party wants to follow the line, it MUST be done from Thusis, otherwise the only thing you're going to see is the back end of a train!!! Note that there are gaps here and there, so beware. Also, some views have been 'ghosted' or 'pixelated' out, presumably for privacy reasons.

I've done most of the line - it is superb!

What is tp2h & tph?[edit]

In the Network table, the abbreviations tp2h & tph appear in the notes. This is not an SI abbreviation. What is it? My guess is trains per hour, but that is only a guess. I suggest that this be defined in the table footnotes.
