European Railroad Discussion > Trains, Paestum, Italy. 1996Date: 02/11/21 15:42 Trains, Paestum, Italy. 1996 Author: smf2mry #1 South bound freight , at least I guess it was south, in the direction of Sicily.
#2. Passenger train headed north towards Battapaglia, and maybe Naples. #3. Same as number two. October 3, 1996.

As we were leaving, however, the sun came out and I got this photo of a rainbow. It was taken from approximately in front of the station in photo 3, and you can see part of the sign on the left edge of that photo.
Paestum is a real gem, with surprisingly intact Greek temples. Well worth a trip -- by train, of course. Date: 02/13/21 00:02 Re: Trains, Paestum, Italy. 1996 Author: cricketer8for9 Yes, very well worth the trip. I've done it from Naples.
Back on railways I have to admit to rather liking the old Italian style of having engines in plain brown. Hardworking motors with function at least as important as form. I think the E645s were among the last to carry this livery. Date: 02/26/21 07:34 Re: Trains, Paestum, Italy. 1996 Author: smf2mry colehour Wrote:
