The photo below shows old talian railway carriages, which will be sent to the railway museum soon. They are so colourful and in good condition, considering those railway carriages were built more than hundred years ago.
Over the last 100 years Italian trains have been changed from this
to this
Have a nice Sunday ☀
Times sure have changed! I do like the older style :-D
ReplyDeleteThere is a museum in Glasgow that is dedicated to transport, called the Riverside Museum have a look online for it. It used to be called The Transport Museum when I was a kid in the 80s!
You really must come back to Scotland soon Giorgio :-D I was in Edinburgh yesterday for a concert. It was a nice evening, so really busy and Edinburgh was full of life! The band I saw was a group from the 1970s called Sparks, do you know them? :-D
Yes Ananka, I've heard of those two American brothers and their pop and rock music. But I don't know their songs.
DeleteI expected Edinburgh to be very crowded on summer evenings.
As soon as I visit Glasgow, I will see the transport museum.
Hi Giorgio, I like the colours of the old cars in your first photo. That second photo...very streamlined! The shape is different and it seems smaller, somehow. Technology has advanced so much. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt’s great that these railway cars have been preserved and will be on display for all to see.
ReplyDeleteThe train looks incredible and sleek in design
ReplyDeleteThat high-spee train in the 2nd photo is the fastest way to Milan from Rome, as it takes roughly 2 hours and 52 minutes (it doesn't make stops at any other stations along the route).
DeleteLindos vagones Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely to preserve old trains.
ReplyDeleteHere in the UK there are many heritage lines where you can go and enjoy a steam train ride and perhaps look around the engine sheds to see the work that goes on to preserve them.

I like both the old and the new sleek train you share here.
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteHello Giorgio! I really like old Italian railway carriages.
ReplyDeleteThey are so colorful.
DeleteBig difference in the old train and todays ones.
ReplyDeleteNice and colourful are the old ones.
DeleteHigh-speed trains can travel at 300 kilometers per hour.
Preserving these old carriages is a beautiful way to connect past and present.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that others will get to see them!
Lovely photos, Giorgio!
In Italy there are many historical trains that still work.

ReplyDeleteI have already travelled from Rome to Naples with the Frecciarosso. :)
Happy Sunday
That's great! It take less than an hour from Rome to Naples by high-speed train.
DeleteHi Giorgio!
ReplyDeleteMy friend, you wrote about a topic close to me. Why? I will boast to you that in my region (about 18 kilometers from my city) there is a unique museum of technology, dedicated to road engineering. Expositions - outdoor and indoor. The outdoor exhibition has dozens of road equipment and machinery, set up on a hill with built in corny surfaces. This part of the site is connected to the building by the historic Bailey Bridge. The exhibitions inside the building are divided thematically. They present: smaller collections of documents, numismatic items, banners, measuring and laboratory instruments.
