| During a recent holiday in the Tuscany region of Italy, I visited two stations on the Pisa to Roma Termini line, which is part of the Trenitalia rail network; Bolgheri (Friday 25th September 2009) and Grosseto (Sunday 27th September 2009). A variety of electric and diesel locomotives were hard at work on passenger services, and some goods trains as well. There were also electric multiple units, and loco-hauled push pull trains. |
On Friday 25th September, Class E655 number 537 heads a train of rails (presumably an engineer's train of some sort) through Bolgheri station, in the direction of Pisa. |
Class E444 number 109 powers a Rome bound express through Bolgheri at near 100 miles per hour. Friday 25th September. |
Grosseto was the place to be on Sunday 27th September. Here, Class E655 number 243 prepares to depart with a van train in tow, having made a quick driver exchange. |
