European Railroad Discussion > Passenger Parade at Trastevere-Roma 9/21/24

Opened in 1911, the Roma-Trastevere station is a busy suburban location, with multiple commuter and main line trains passing through on many tracks. I spent a couple hours there on 9/21 and am sharing a sample of some of the passenger trains that pass through.

Image one - Bombardier E464 TRAXX P160 DCP 656 pushes FS Trenitalia Regionale FL5 Line 12551 from Civitavecchia to Rome.

Image two - FS Trenitalia Intercity 518 from Rome to Ventimiglia is but minutes into its 7 hour and 42 minute long trek to the Côte d'Azur and the French border. It's a trip I've taken in the past, but wouldn't on this trip. Power is a CAF rebuilt E401.

Image three - A Rome to Pisa set of Rock cars is early into its journey as train RV4136 as it passes the platform at Trastevere-Roma.

Image four - RV12532 from Rome to Civitavecchia rolls to a station stop behind E464.611 one of the ubiquitous (to use an old TRAINS word) fleet of TRAXX P160 DCP that run in multiple services. This commuter run is 43 miles (or 45 minutes).
 
Image five - FS Trenitalia Frecciabianca ES 8613 from Genova to Rome passes by under the auspices of Fiat ETR485 Pendolino #40. The train is just a few minutes away from its final stop at Roma Termini.
 
Image six - FS Trenitalia Frecciabianca 8626 from Rome to Genova begins its run. The ETR485 Pendolino #24 will reach Genova in a bit less than five hours.

Thanks for these photos -- they bring back memories of my time in Rome (2001-2007). I often would take the train from Ostiense to San Pietro, since it was faster and more comfortable than taking buses to get to the Vatican area. San Pietro station had a model train display (at least at some times) and a Christmas tree on the platform during Yuletide. Happy memories!

Another fine set, and opportunity to visit some territory photographically that we seldom see here on TO. Nice to see my favorite Class E464 electrics in this territory too. A lot to enjoy in beautiful sunny weather - thanks much.

I too have really enjoyed your series on Italian trains and trams, especially given your "photographic style".  Thank you !

With best regards, SZ

PS  Maybe you could post some "from the cutting room floor" if there are any........
