Two modern Trenitalia DMUs are stabled at Modica in southern Sicily on Sunday 27th May 2018. Steam was still in use here until around 1970 and all the associated infrastructure survives, including this water tower. It would be difficult to stand behind the yellow line on the island platform at Modica. Aficionados of BBC4 subtitled crime dramas may recognise the 394' high Guerrieri Viaduct, which features in the opening titles of the Inspector Montalbano series.
