During one of our vacations to Italy, we rode the Italian Railway
from Rome to Anzzio. During the 1 1/2 hour long trip, I saw a
lot of odd things. All lines there are electrified, however, every
station we passed through had a small 2 or 3 track yard associated
with it for the loading and unloading of cargo. These yards were
not electrified, instead employing the use of small diesel locomotives.
The station at Rome was enormous, the electrified lines and yard
areas make the largest stations in the US look small. Here are
the photos...
