Four islands in the Mediterranean - Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Majorca - still possess public railway systems, that on Sicily being an extension of the Trenitalia network courtesy of the train ferries that ply the Straits of Messina. Two other islands, Malta and Cyprus lost their railways many years ago. These pictures were taken between 1983 and 2001 whilst on holiday on Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia.
