In 1910, when they built the railway station of
Livorno Centrale, it was probably fashionable to put a series of faces like this one on the side of the platforms roof.
Smaller and sometimes not yet repainted heads are placed on the side of all the platforms roofs.
The bigger faces are present only on the elevated roof of the first track. By the way, this is the train that was carrying
cieldequimer of
Versailles Daily Photo and her friend Catherine to Livorno.

They look like real characters.
ReplyDeleteI often look for the carved faces like that in places here.
Love train stations!
ReplyDeleteThose truly are Monday face. Not like mine though, I have the day off.
ReplyDelete:-) For some odd reason, I only have photos of the inside of the train! And thanks for pointing the faces out to us!
ReplyDeleteCiel, I was wandering if you have seen the faces! :-)
ReplyDeleteAfter a look at these, I might want to take the bus.
ReplyDeleteAll smiles!
ReplyDeleteThese faces are impressive!
ReplyDeleteThe comment of José made me laugh :)
I do envy your trains very much! But, I wonder, why are the faces so angry?
ReplyDeleteScary faces but the train is beautiful. Wish I were on it.
ReplyDeleteThey don't look too happy! Is there some reason for that?
ReplyDeleteUnusual. I wonder what the concept was. As others have asked, why so angry?
