Electric Locomotives

The advent of electric traction in Italian railways represented a true revolution, introducing efficiency, but above all, unimaginable speed until then. After decades of experiments and complex work, the progressive electrification of the network began, in the years following the First World War, to revolutionize the way of traveling, becoming the symbol of modernity and technological progress. The electric locomotives of the Fondazione FS Italiane have been philologically restored and embody the engineering excellence of an era that saw the train become the protagonist of mobility. Traveling aboard a train pulled by one of these locomotives offers a unique experience, thanks to a special travel comfort capable of perfectly blending into the landscapes crossed. These locomotives are ideal for itineraries on the most important and scenic electrified lines, where they can best express their performance, reaching high speeds and ensuring a comfortable journey.
