A formal request for the licensing of a rail network was made by the mayor of Locarno, Francesco Balli, in 1898 , but although construction of the Centovalli Railway was begun in May 1913 , the collapse of the financing bank later that year, together with the intervention of the First World War meant that construction was not resumed until August 1921 , with the line being constructed from each end and meeting on 27 March 1923 and public service being inaugurated on 25 November 1923 . As well as an important public service, the route of the railway is extremely scenic and the route is popular with tourists. The company's acronym (a reference to Flatulence ) is often a source of some amusement to English speakers. EXTERNAL LINKS |
