Trenino Verde
("''the Little Green Train of Sardinia''" in English) is a rail tourism service operated by ARST in the island of Sardinia, Italy. History Characterized by lengthy travel times and winding tracks in attractive landscapes, the narrow gauge railways of Sardinia have always attracted the attention of travellers. As early as 1921, the British writer D. H. Lawrence, in his book, ''Sea and Sardinia'', recounted his experiences while traveling along the Cagliari–Isili line: After World War II, railway tourism slowly took shape on the island. By the 1980s, the then concessionaires of the secondary lines, the (FCS) and the (SFS), were forced to organise a service for tourists in a more systematic fashion. The name chosen for it, ''Trenino Verde'', was used for the first time in 1984, and alludes to the many features rich in vegetation encountered by the trains. Given the growing demand for rail tourism, the Ferrovie della Sardegna (FdS) (created in 1989 from the merger of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cagliari Light Rail

The first stage involved rebuilding, as a light rail line, the section between that line's Cagliari terminal station, at Piazza Repubblica, and Monserrato. The work included adding stations, installing overhead lines, and adding passing tracks in some locations along the single-track line. Once the construction was completed and the vehicles ready for use, a much greater frequency of service than existed previously on the line would be introduced, using the new trams ...
