Steam Locomotives

Steam Locomotives

The mammoth steam engines, protagonists of a large part of Italian transport history. Complex engineering works capable of conquering the complicated orography of the Italian territory, hauling goods and passengers and creating communication between distant territories. Some of the most iconic Italian steam locomotives have been saved from oblivion by the Fondazione FS Italiane: thanks to meticulous and continuous maintenance and philological restoration work, it is still possible today to see them travel on the Italian railway network. Several locomotives are operational and available for tourist and charter services. Traveling pulled by a steam locomotive means experiencing a complete sensory experience: from the rhythmic noise of the connecting rods to the sensation of the power pushing the train, from the unmistakable smell of coal, with the landscapes of the Italian countryside scrolling outside the window in an aura of old-world romanticism. For our most discerning clients, we offer the unique opportunity to revive the magic of steam. Charter one of these magnificent locomotives and guarantee your guests an unforgettable and deeply evocative experience, a true dive into railway history.
