Genova Casella Railway will run a new train on its tracks since 2013. Indeed it was concluded that the process, confirming what we have anticipated for almost a year ago, led to the award AnsaldoBreda to contract for the supply of the new train.
It was not an easy path: the economic difficulties and the technical characteristics with which the historic line has to deal have always brought the heads of Piazza Manin to establish an innovative project with few parallels in Europe. The first tender procedure has been so empty, and the award was necessary to call a second, then stole from Naples today, but with a long tradition of Genoa.
The supply has a total value of € 4.3 million, of which 3.95 million directly to the train, and the remaining 350,000 for this material to spare.
funds for the operation come from the region of Liguria, which has recently entrusted the management of the railway to AMT.
The new complex, such as "tram - train" because of its characteristics that make a synthesis between the two types of media, responds to the project plan as required by the route of the line. Steep and winding path, top speed is not particularly high need for constant acceleration and deceleration, the resources are required is flexible, with good climbing ability and ease of incarrozzamento passengers.
While in other contexts, as in Germany, this type of trains are experiencing a good spread, in Italy there is nothing like that, and the only means to some approachable manner are in service for several months with great satisfaction of the user along the line that leads from Bergamo Albino, based on the reconstruction of the railway in Val Seriana.
The news the two main players in the operation, Eng. Gassani Paul, General Manager of the railway, which is also one of the most renowned scholars and experts to train the national level, and Nives Maria Riggio, CEO of the railroad since summer 2008, under whose guidance the prudent and rigorous system for rail more expensive to Genoa is emerging from a difficult period of technical difficulties.
"It is - said Gassani - by half a length of 42 articulated meters, meter gauge and power circuits to 3,000 volts. It has 240 seats in total, including 140 seats and one for passengers with reduced mobility. It has the low-floor, for easy incarrozzamento passengers, and a large glass area for enjoying the beautiful landscape offered by our railroad. For the choice of tram - train, is dictated by the fact that its lightness and inscrivibilità in small curves that best fit the tortuous path of the Genoa-Casella railway rolling stock than the traditional, with improved comfort running speed and the reduction of wear of the track. "
"The signing of this contract provision is to achieve an important goal in addition to the many investments since 2008 have been planned and implemented to overcome the situation as extremely critical to rail," added Maria Nives Riggio. "They were restored twelve out of twenty times a day working the railroad, and is intensifying even as the public holidays in the coming months - thanks to the work in progress - may be further increased. We have invested resources to restore the existing rolling stock, "Riggio says" waiting for 2011, when, in addition to a car, two trucks will reach refurbished and 2013 with the new train AnsaldoBreda. "
AMT, the new operator of the line, a section of which will soon be upgraded to a total of 4.3 km., he will then raise to operate a line in the recent past. The only question mark about his new material: a convoy just seems a little 'just to ensure uninterrupted service, but then when the resources are what they are. One wonders, however, if, while doing a lot of talk about sustainable mobility and quality of life, you can not find a way to finance infrastructure unique and envied around the world, popular with tourists and enthusiasts around the planet and What good is a important catchment area and as yet not intercepted.
