Italy - part 3

The sun is not always shining in November in Italy either
I'm visiting Tombolo station located on the line Livorno-Pisa

Nearby is Pisa airport
The station is not in use, so there are no passenger trains stopping here



Nearby is also a military base


483 307, Captrain Italia S.r.l. on its way to Livorno



I'm on my way further down the coast to visit some other stations
The Port of Livorno is one of the largest Italian seaports and one of the largest seaports in the Mediterranean Sea, with an annual traffic capacity of around 30 million tonnes of cargo and 700,000 TEU's. (Wikipedia) TEU-The twenty-foot equivalent unit 




Quercianella


Here comes a real beauty



Castiglioncello


Warm temperature for November












On my way back to Viareggio
The harbour of Viareggio in the evening

The next day I'm heading north of Viareggio towards La Spezia
Pietrasanta



Forte dei Marmi Seravezza-Querceta






Luni



Only passenger trains today, seems that the freight train drivers are taking a day off on a Sunday 

Vezzano Ligure


ETR 485






At La Spezia Migliarina I can spot some freight trains but they are not moving
La Spezia is the second-largest city in the Liguria region, after Genoa. Located roughly midway between Genoa and Pisa, on the Ligurian Sea, it is one of the main Italian military and commercial harbors and a major Italian Navy base. (Wikipedia)




Now that I'm with a car, I have a chance to see Cinque Terre from a different view


Riomaggiore



Back in Torre del Lago
483 105, DB Cargo Italia S.r.l.

FS Class 444 - a classic Italian locomotive
444 046 belongs to Fondazione FS Italiane, and it is used for tourist trains

The train has some very old wagons

494 024






652 094


483 016, Captrain Italia S.r.l.



Rich wildlife here in Viareggio


Famous train delays here in Italy
Fast freight train at Viareggio


So, I'm on my way again to a new relocation
This time, again northbound - here stopping by at the Firenze-Bologna railway


The nature here looks completely different from the coast area, here I feel more like I'm in Sweden

Bologna-Milano railway has many freight trains during the weekdays
191 001, InRail at Anzola dell'Emilia


494 555, Dinazzano Po




Samoggia station
Some high-speed trains are still taking the classic railway despite the new high-speed line located just a few meters away

193 524, SBB Cargo International




652 146


Intercity Notte

483 051, GTS





483 058, GTS Rail



Here is the high speed line


494 022



405 018




191 042, InRail




SBB train on the way to Bologna
Giruno train is not certified for the high speed line







I'm more than happy seeing this much freight train, but the weather could have been a bit better




RFI train



Taking the highways in Italy can sometimes look like this - the right line is occupied by trucks. Why not move all these trucks on the rail?
Arriving at Mori where I'll spend some days now
