Sabotaged Monzuno Train Tunnel

Air attacks and guerrilla attacks, such as shown here at the train tunnel of Monzuno (route Bologna - Prato) showed obvious effect. It started immediately to rebuild the infrastructure. The picture was taken in August 1944 by Reichsbahn photographer Walter Hollnagel

  1. Monzuno is not the location in the photo, but it should be Borgo Val di Taro, the line from La Spezia to Parma (Pontremolese). The three-phase electric traction systems are clearly visible, although destroyed by the air attacks, while the Bologna Prato was electrified in direct current, with completely different systems.
