The Mendrisio–Stabio railway is a railway line in Ticino Switzerland.It was opened in 1926 as part of the international Valmorea railway but only two years later the border crossing was closed by the Italian government which didn’t agree with a privately owned international connection (the Italian section of the line was operated by Ferrovie Nord Milano).The Swiss section remained active and is now used only as a freight railway for the industries around Stabio.Since 1993 the line is also used by touristic trains on the re-opened line to Malnate.A new branch the Arcisate–Stabio railway is currently under construction.
