The railway is totally underground within Monegasque territory, and no trains can be seen at ground level within the nation. It links [[Marseille]] to [[Ventimiglia, Italy|Ventimiglia]] ([[Italy]]) through the principality, and was opened in 1868. Two stations were originally provided, named 'Monaco' and 'Monte-Carlo', but neither remain in current use. The railway line was re-laid, in a new [[permanent way]] in tunnels, constructed in two stages. The first, in 1964, was a 3,500 metre tunnel (mostly in French territory) which rendered the original Monte-Carlo station redundant. The second stage, opened in 1999, was a 3&nbsp;km-long tunnel linked to the first one, allowing the new "underground railway station of Monaco-Monte Carlo" to open. Where the above ground railway was is now available for development, schools, hotels and commercial facilities, can locate here totaling some four hectares. This station is also served by international trains (including the French [[TGV]]) and regional trains ("[[TER]]").
