Grazie, Duolingo!
The valley west of Tarvisio towards Gemona Del Friuli is very beautiful. The rail line mainly runs through tunnels though, so my visit was rather short as rail happened to be the purpose of my visit.
In Pontebba however the line surfaces, and I found a nice location south of the station. In my best Italian I asked a railway employee if I could stand on the railway property - which he promptly allowed! Grazie, Duolingo!
Then the waiting for a freight train begun. I stood here long time until I eventually found out that there were works going on. The end of the work window was near so I waited just a little bit longer to get a photo of 2 passenger trains, one of them being the FUC train towards Udine.
