ALN-668

ALN 668

The Light Diesel Railcars (ALn) of group 668 were the true "queens" of Italian secondary lines starting from the 1950s, becoming a symbol of local and widespread railway transport. These vehicles, characterized by their lightness, reliability, and versatility, made it possible to connect small towns and sparsely populated areas, bringing progress and connectivity even where traditional railways did not easily reach. Their design is essential but functional, conceived to optimize costs and maintenance. Today, the ALn 668 units preserved and restored by Fondazione FS continue to offer an authentic and intimate travel experience. Traveling on an ALn 668 means rediscovering a slower pace, enjoying the proximity to the landscape through generous windows, and appreciating the simplicity and efficiency of a vehicle that served millions of Italians. They are ideal for itineraries that highlight the territory, small stations, and scenic lines where the local atmosphere is the protagonist, offering a genuine travel experience and a more direct contact with the hidden soul of Italy.
