TEE Carriages Of FS
The FS type TEE (Trans Europ Express) carriages were the result of a study commissioned in 1967 by Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, ''Ferrovie dello Stato'' (FS) to Alstom Ferroviaria, ''FIAT - Sezione Materiale Ferroviario'' of Turin. to replace on the Trans Europ Express trains entrusted to the Italian railways the TEE ALn 442/448 railcars with Train, trainsets consisting of Locomotive, locomotives and Passenger railroad car, carriages. The carriages, ordered in 1969 and delivered between 1971 and 1973,. were used on the Lemano (train), TEE ''Lemano'', ''Mediolanum (train), Mediolanum'', and ''Ligure (train), Ligure'' services, but not on the Mont Cenis (train), TEE ''Mont Cenis'', which was discontinued on September 30, 1972. In 1970–71 the FS ordered a further series of coaches called Gran Confort, similar to the TEEs but compatible only with the 3 kV direct current electrification system, which were destined for Trans Europ Express trains in domestic service on the Italian r ...

International Union Of Railways
The International Union of Railways (, UIC) is an international rail transport industry body based in Paris. History The railways of Europe had originated during the nineteenth century as many separate concerns across numerous nations; this led to disparate and conflicting standards emerging and thus onto incompatibility. One prominent example was the British Gauge War, during which different rail transport, railway companies were laying different track gauges across Great Britain, causing inefficiency wherever a break of gauge occurred, prior to an Regulating the Gauge of Railways Act 1846, Act of Parliament the issue in 1846 by establishing one standard gauge of . The early effort towards standardisation somewhat influenced railways aboard as well, however various other track gauges persisted and developed across the world; even through to the twenty first century, incompatible track gauges, let alone other issues, persisted to hinder interoperability efforts. Several key eve ...

Rome–Formia–Naples Railway
The Rome–Formia–Naples railway—also called the Rome–Naples Direttissima in Italian ("most direct")–is part of the traditional main north-south trunk line of the Italian railway network. It was opened in 1927 as a fast link as an alternative to the existing Rome–Naples via Cassino line, significantly reducing journey times. High-speed trains on the route use the parallel Rome–Naples high-speed railway, which was partially opened in December 2005, and fully in December 2009. History Problems with the Rome–Naples line via Cassino led to proposals for the construction of a new line nearer the coast as early as 1871. When the Papal States planned the Cassino line, it was not designed just as a direct connection with Naples, but also was intended to connect with smaller localities on the way. Partly as a result, it had a tortuous route which, especially in the valley of the Sacco River, was subject to frequent disruption by floods and landslides. The old line was built ...

Latina Railway Station
Latina is the main railway station of the Italian city of Latina, in the region of Lazio. It is owned by the ''Ferrovie dello Stato'', the national rail company of Italy, and is an important train station of its region. Geography The station is located in Latina Scalo, a suburb in the northern part of Latina. It is the most distant station from the city centre of an Italian seat of province: due to this, 9 km, local and regional authorities have presented several projects to build a rail, or a light rail, from it to an eventual "Latina Città" (i.e. ''Latina City'') station. History The station was inaugurated on July 17, 1922, at the opening of the new direct line from Rome to Naples, via Formia. In the early years of service, when the city of Latina didn't exist, it was a simple train stop serving some little villages close to the swamps composing the environment of the Pontine Marshes. In 1932, during fascism and after the foundation of the actual city, the new station ...

Milan–Bologna Railway
The Milan–Bologna railway is the northern part of the traditional main north–south trunk line of the Italian railway network. It closely follows the ancient Roman Road, the Via Aemilia. The line was opened between 1859 and 1861 as a single-line railway, and was doubled between 1866 and 1894. It was electrified at 3,000 volts DC in 1938. High-speed trains on the route have used the parallel Milan–Bologna high-speed line since 13 December 2008. History The Milan–Bologna line was not built as it is now but was created out of the merger of two existing lines built at different times and for different purposes: it was formed by linking the line from Milan towards Piacenza with the line from Turin through Piacenza to Bologna, Florence and Rome. The Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia was until 1859 still part of the Austrian Empire and conceived concessions for the construction of railways, not so much for its commercial advantages as for military purposes and to bring together th ...

Fidenza Railway Station
Fidenza railway station (''Stazione di Fidenza'') is a station that serves the Italian city of Fidenza. It is located on the Milan–Bologna railway and lines branch off to Cremona, to Fornovo and to the nearby Salsomaggiore Terme. History The station was called "Borgo San Donnino" until 1927, as was the city. The station and the surrounding area have undergone a major redevelopment, with work starting in the second half of the first decade of the 2000s. After several delays in the completion of the works, the first results were seen in 2013, with the total renovation of the internal rooms, including the waiting room, central atrium, and ticket office. In the same year, a pedestrian underpass was built connecting the square in front of the station to the Via Marconi. In 2017, after the installation of three lifts serving the three platforms used for passenger services, the last phase of the redevelopment work began, which was completed at the beginning of 2018. This re ...

Electric Multiple Unit
An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages. However, electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The vast majority of EMUs are passenger trains but versions also exist for carrying mail. EMUs are popular on intercity, commuter, and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation, and are used on most rapid-transit systems. Being quieter than diesel multiple units (DMUs) and locomotive-hauled trains, EMUs can operate later at night and more frequently without disturbing nearby residents. In addition, tunnel design for EMU trains is simpler as no provision is needed for exhausting fumes, although retrofitting ...

Three-phase AC Railway Electrification
Three-phase AC railway electrification, which promised some advantages over established DC electric rail power and steam traction, started at the turn of the twentieth century. The first standard gauge line, from 1899 to 1933, was from Burgdorf to Thun in Switzerland (). Italy was the major user, from 1901 until 1976, although lines through two tunnels also used the system; the Simplon Tunnel between Switzerland and Italy from 1906 to 1930 (but not connected to the Italian system), and the Cascade Tunnel of the Great Northern Railway in the United States from 1909 to 1939. Single phase AC railways with a single overhead line proved more practical. Since the 1980s, modern electric locomotives use three-phase AC internally, generated from a single overhead line, thanks to advances in semiconductor inverter technology. These inverters are also used in electric cars, from a DC battery, or from DC photovoltaic panels into the three-phase AC grid. Advantages The system provides rege ...

Genève-Cornavin Railway Station
Geneva railway station (), also known as Geneva Cornavin railway station, is Geneva's main train station, located in the centre of the city. The immediate area surrounding it is known as Cornavin; both names can be used interchangeably. The third largest train station in Switzerland by passenger numbers behind Zürich HB and Bern, with 156,000 users on average per working day in 2022, it sees over 720 train departures every day from its eight through-platforms. Platforms 7 and 8 have French and Swiss border controls. Long distance and regional express trains leave for France without making any stops in Switzerland. Another reason to separate the tracks is the different electrical standards of the relevant railway system on either side. The French system uses 25 kV at 50 Hz AC, but the Swiss system uses 15 kV AC at 16.7 Hz. The station connects to one Swiss mainline, the Lausanne–Geneva line, which links the city with the rest of Switzerland, to the east. Many lo ...
