Originally, two stations served the principality on the Marseille-Nice-Ventimiglia line: Monaco and Monte Carlo. A new tunnel was built in the 1950s through the hills behind Monte Carlo, bypassing the Monte Carlo station and causing its closure.[4][5][6] Subsequently, the Monaco station was renamed Monaco-Monte Carlo station.
In the 1990s, the railway line was re-routed completely underground. A new underground station was built to replace the old surface station. The new Monaco - Monte Carlo station was opened on 7 December 1999.
Monaco also had a tramway system between 1898 and 1931, with the first line linking Place d’Armes to Saint Roman.[5]

Monaco does not operate its own train service; all rail services in the Principality are operated by the French operator, SNCF.[9] SNCF trains leave the Monaco - Monte Carlo station every 15 minutes throughout the day,[10] although services cease during early, and late hours.[11]
