On the way to Bari we saw a railway running along the highway in the hills, then we saw abandoned station buildings and crossings, and realized that this was interesting! It turned out to be an abandoned or temporarily stopped section of the operating railway Altamura - Avigliano - Potenza, built in the 30s of the 20th century. The track gauge is 950 mm. On the line of about 108 km, they are apparently reconstructing and introducing new trains, updating the tracks. The stations are working from Potenza to Avigliano and from Altamura to Gravina-in-Puglia. But the middle is clearly abandoned. There is no rolling stock on the tracks and the electricity is turned off, the crossings are not working. I have not found answers to this anywhere. A mystery! #stalevarchannel #train #railroad #travel #железнодорожное #узкоколейка #узкаяколея #железнаядорога #narrowgauge #abandoned #puglia #italia #apuglia #italy
