I’ve had 2 memorable cargo ship voyages, with full access to the ship & crew - but not a cruise line menu!

Interesting article on the saga in press today.
EAV the victim here, but not obvious to passengers.
Not mentioned is the compatability issues with new signalling. I understand new trains await new ERTMS signalling... due 2026...

Above E444R is a 1989 rebuild of the original 1967 E444 with more modern and powerful electrics.

The rebuilt loco lost the classic curved front of the original, although the one survives in the National Railway Museum, Naples.
