    One of a kind: #Elettrotreno #ETR252 #Arlecchino. Built in 1960 and preserved by #FondazioneFS ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, the train is operating a #Milan to #Venice special today. Among the design features: the #Belvedere lounge at the front, just below the workplace of the train driver. @LeFrecce

    ฤorฤ‘e Balaลกeviฤ‡. The kind of person, when you think that hatred is all over the place, you listen to him and you realise: no, hatred will not prevail. Decency will. Courage will. Wisdom will. Kindness will. Because he was all of that. R.I.P.

    My photo of Croatiaโ€™s National Team on their bus in downtown Zagreb is neither perfect nor unique: hundreds of smartphones capture the same moment. But that very moment certainly is both: perfect and unique. #Bravo #Vatreni #WorldCupFinalโ  โ

    It is moving again after a break of some years, yet revenue service will only resume in 2023: earlier today #Trieste ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น to #Opicina tramcar number 404 was out on the line for a test run, very much to the surprise of motorists who are no longer used to come across a tram here ๐Ÿ˜‰.

    I just came to sit behind my UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง colleague @UKinCroatia @a_dalgleish (who happens to be English ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ) and I see he is honouring his promise to wear Croatian ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท fan socks in case Croatia wins #CROENG ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ‘

    Night train from Villach ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น to Zurich ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ. The carriages are Croatian: the train originates in Zagreb ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท. No @_DiningCar on board but breakfast ๐Ÿฅ โ˜•๏ธ is being served in the sleeper cabin by the train attendant as we pass alongside scenic Walensee, one of the numerous Swiss lakes.

    Probably the most innovative feature on the #ร–BB new generation #NightJet: the pod, the capsule, the mini-cabin, whatever you call it. Although sold as โ€œcouchetteโ€ itโ€™s probably closer to a โ€œsleeperโ€: a single-cabin at an affordable rate. Two levels of capsules: upper and lower.

    The #Ventimiglia to #Genova railway line is still single track at some places. #Laigueglia, a lovely seaside town in #Liguria ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, is one of them. This is a busy line with #Trenitalia #Intercity trains to #Milan speeding through and regional services for #Savona stopping here.

    The #SBB๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ#TransEuropExpress #RAe #TEE on the #Gotthard line today as #SBBhistoric #Extrazug: 1960s elegance, including in the @_DiningCar. One thing is a must for the railway enthusiast: enjoying the view of the line ahead like the engine driver. A unique feature of this train.

    Iโ€™m the only passenger getting off the #CaledonianSleeper at #Corrour ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ, Britainโ€˜s highest railway station (at 402 metres a.s.l) - and said to be the most remote one. Strong winds and a snowshower as the @CalSleeper departs, followed by sunny spells. A really beautiful place.

    Long gone, yet one of my all-time favourites on European rails: the stylish #CatalanTalgo, able to run on (Spanish) broad gauge and (French) standard gauge tracks. In its final years, it linked Barcelona ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ to Montpellier ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท and came with a bar-type @_DiningCar. ๐Ÿ“ท January 2008.

    The #Graz ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น to #Zurich๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ#Eurocity #Transalpin is one of just a few remaining services which come with a full, traditional, #ร–BB @_DiningCar. Time to enjoy lunch at a well dressed table as we pass through the Austrian Alps on this beautiful autumn day. @unsereOEBB

    #Austriaโ€™s fastest locomotive, an @unsereOEBB class 1216, seen at #Munich ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Hauptbahnhof a moment ago, ready to work a #Eurocity train to #Venice ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น via #Innsbruck ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น. Service speed over the #Brenner railway line will remain a little bit below the 357 kph indicated though. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    The #FondazioneFS ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น #ETR252 #Arlecchino comes with a few distinctive 1960s design elements โ€ฆ
