FS Treni Turistici Gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato

Diesel technology significantly contributed to shortening distances and reaching inland Italian locations, ensuring a constant railway service that fostered the phenomenon of commuting. From the 1950s onwards, these reliable and efficient machines dominated non-electrified lines, demonstrating their versatility in freight and passenger transport. The diesel locomotives of Fondazione FS Italiane, restored and meticulously maintained, embody the solidity and mechanical engineering that characterized decades of progress. Traveling pulled by one of these locomotives offers particular sensations, including the powerful and constant noise, the perception of an unstoppable motive force, and the ability to reach even the most remote locations. They are perfect for traveling through unspoiled landscapes and along less frequented lines, where their autonomy is fundamental. The essential and functional design represents an era of pragmatism and innovation, offering passengers an authentic taste of rail travel in a rapidly rebuilding Italy.
