Impression from the station of Vernazza and the fascinating railway line through the Cinque Terre villages ... tunnel after tunnel along the steep Ligurian coast.

The village of Vernazza is directly below the station, and can reached on foot in five minutes. Vernazza’s original train station dating from the 1874 inauguration of the rail line, running between Sestri Levante and La Spezia, was replaced in 1959 when the route connecting the five villages in the Cinque Terre was expanded. The modern station is unique on the Ligurian coast, as it is located above street level - accessed by a flight of stairs - and on the center platform, with tracks running on either side.

A quick panorama out of 11 handheld vertical single shots, just before returning to Monterosso al Mare - I did not have much time ... train is coming :-))
