Since the beginning of the 19th century, the construction of the railroad was a sign of the modernization of the town, and of the new country which had recently been divided into smaller states that frequently benefited from important projects.
The railroad tracks follow the course of the Tenna river up a gentle slope, and with numerous bridges that cross the river and its tributaries. The old station in Amandola can be found just outside the center, and is an ideal departure point for long bicycle rides on country paths. Interesting houses and streets can be seen along the old train tracks. Starting from Via Pignotto, we leave the center of town and start along the unpaved road which is interspersed with shrubbery and trees near the river. With our first steps, we notice evidence of brick reinforcement walls built in the early 20th century. Along the tracks, we come across the magnificently frescoed church of Santa Maria a Pie d’Agello, to which a specific guide is dedicated. A little farther, we find a railroad bridge, now closed to transit, which may be observed while descending on the right. As the street continues, it levels and brings us to the artificial lake of San Rufino and to the abbey from which it takes its name. These places also have their own specific guides. The railroad tracks along this section proceed on both the left and right banks of the Tenna river, with several bridges and brick structures visible along the tracks of the provincial road. The railroad continues to the sea, in Porto San Giorgio, it joins the Adriatic Line. In Servigliano, not far from the railway station, you will find a former concentration camp which held English prisoners, aliens, and Marchigiani Jews awaiting deportation. Today it has been transformed into a public garden named the Park of Peace.
