The Milan Exposition Elevated Railway (Italian: Ferrovia sopraelevata dell'Esposizione di Milano) was a temporary elevated railway in Milan, Italy, constructed for the 1906 World's Fair.[1] The railway connected two venues of the exposition: Parco Sempione and Piazza d'Armi (now the site of CityLife). The railway operated for entire duration of the exposition, from April 29 until November 11.
