The first and only railway in the small landlocked country of San Marino opened in 1932, linking the city of San Marino with the main line railway station at Rimini, Italy, a distance of about 20km. It was an electrically powered railway, built to a gauge of 950mm. Although quite successful at first, the line was badly damaged during World War II and did not reopen.
Part of the line has now been restored, and tourist services commenced in 2026 on about 1km of the route from the San Marino city station through the Montale tunnel.
