Domodossola, Italy - Locarno, Switzerland - Ferrovia Vigezzina Centovalli FART railway in the Alps

Great report, and I'm happy to see my hometown station Locarno in one of your videos. Just note that you were on a ABe 4/6 train which, even if with larger windows, it's not a truly panoramic train (you mentioned this in the video and the views are amazing anyway). SSIF company has also truly panoramic trains called "Vigezzo Vision" and you need to pay a surcharge for it. The confort on the ABe 4/6 is better than on the Vigezzo Vision :).

My partner and I, as you maybe aware by now, like doing rail tourism and also enjoy Ticino, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, I can read Italian and my partner's mother was a professor in Italian, so it is nice area for our other pleasure boat trips on lakes and rivers. We stay in Locarno regularly at a hotel between the railway station and the lake shore. and on our second to last trip there we did the Centovallina from Locarno to Domodossola then took a train to Brig spent a pleasant time in Brig then came back to Locarno.

I took that trip in August and it totally sucked. Half the train was reserved for invisible passengers that got on halfway into the line. It was standing room only on the train from Domodossola and I could not get near a window. No air conditioning Horrible - Both ways! I did get off half way at the chimney sweep capital of the world and took that refreshing tour. How did you get a reserved seat

Domodossola is super nice as is Santa Maria Maggiore.

Anyone but me see the initials for the name of the Swiss leg of this rail line? Ferrovie Autolinee Regionalie Ticinese? It's right on the rail cars and in the station.

That's correct, also called FART.
