The Principality of Monaco has a single railway station (Monaco-Monte Carlo) on the Marseille–Ventimiglia railway line.[1][2] The station was originally opened in 1867, but extensively rebuilt in 1999.[3] The length of railway within the Principality is 1.7 km (1.1 mi).[1] This means Monaco has the second smallest railway system in the World.[4]
Monaco does not operate its own train service; all rail services in the Principality are operated by the French operator, SNCF.[5] SNCF trains leave the Monaco-Monte Carlo station every 15 minutes throughout the day,[6] although services cease during early, and late hours.[7]
The railway station is in the modern administrative Ward of Moneghetti, Monaco, next to the French town of Beausoleil, and the Monégasque administrative Ward of Saint Michel.[3]
