Locomotives et automotrices - Italie : livres - aperçus

Italian Traction

Les chemins de fer italiens sont principalement exploités par l'opérateur national Trenitalia. La plupart du pays étant bordé par la Méditerranée, le trafic transfrontalier est limité, bien que des lignes importantes existent au Brenner au nord-ouest et à Chiasso au nord. Le nord du pays connaît le trafic passagers et marchandises le plus dense.

Les locomotives les plus nombreuses sont les électriques de la série 464, avec plus de 700 unités chez Trenitalia et Trenord. D'autres séries électriques comprennent les 402 et 444, tandis que les diesels 345 et 445 sont utilisés sur certaines lignes passagers. Le fret est principalement assuré par Trenitalia, avec quelques opérateurs plus petits comme DB. La flotte de fret de Trenitalia va de la série 632 aux remarquables 655/656.

Ce livre présente la variété de la traction italienne, des trains à grande vitesse aux services régionaux et de fret, avec des informations détaillées et des illustrations pour les passionnés et les professionnels.

I depositi locomotive di Bologna 1973-2023

Located strategically in the Padan quadrilateral, the Locomotive Depots of Bologna Centrale and San Donato have always played a crucial role in scheduled maintenance and traction for all categories of trains. Through the lens of photographers Franco Dell'Amico, Roberto Cocchi, Alberto Perego, Carlo Pozzi, and Maurizio Tolini, we trace the extensive historical journey between two eras of railcars, locomotives, and railcars that concluded their careers at the "Deposito del Lazzaretto."

Following the closure of the San Donato facility due to the rapid decline in freight traffic favoring the automotive sector, the yard was abandoned and used for the storage of rolling stock awaiting demolition.
In 2017, RFI's foresight identified the San Donato facility as an opportunity to create a test circuit, following the model of European "track-tests" in Velim and Wildenrath, with the aim of competing internationally at 3kV and 25kV. The circuit spans 5759 meters, including 2000 meters of double track.
Detached from the national network, it allows the circulation of all types of rolling stock, even those without a safety certificate.
