FS Class ALe 582
The ALe 582 is an Italian electric multiple unit train designed for commuter and medium-distance services, developed in the mid-1980s to replace pre-war and immediately post-war EMUs and locomotive-hauled trains on various lines in Sicily and Southern Italy, although they later diffused on the whole FS network. They're part of the "ALe Elettroniche" (Chopper-controlled EMUs) or "G.A.I." (the name of the manufacturers' consortium) family, together with their predecessors ALe 724 and their successors, the ALe 642. While "ALe 582" is usually used to refer to the whole trainset, it officially indicates only the motor-cab car: the trailers are classified Le 562 (cab car), Le 763 (1st class) or Le 884 (2nd class). History The ALe 582 project was developed in the mid-eighties in order to replace old rolling stock used for commuter traffic and medium-distance (regional and local services) on secondary lines of Sicily and southern Italy. It is a strict derivative of the ALe 724 Class ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bologna Centrale Railway Station
Bologna Centrale is a railway station in Bologna, Italy. The station is situated at the northern edge of the city centre. It is located at the southern end of the Milan-Bologna high-speed line, which opened on 13 December 2008, and the northern end of three lines between Bologna and Florence: the original Bologna-Florence line through Porretta Terme and Pistoia; the Bologna–Florence Direttissima via Prato, which opened on 22 April 1934 and the Bologna-Florence high-speed line, which opened to traffic on 13 December 2009. Bologna Centrale is the fifth-busiest in Italy in terms of passenger movements (about 58 million passengers per year).

FS Class ALe 724
The ALe 724 are a class of EMUs of the Italian Ferrovie dello Stato, projected for suburban and regional services. History In 1978 the Ferrovie dello Stato received a series of prototype-EMUs, the so-called ″ Treni GAI″, that had for the first time a chopper technology instead of the classical electric equipment. As the tests of the ″treni GAI″ were positive, in May 1979 the FS ordered a series of EMUs derived from them. The lombard regional railway company FNM had already ordered in 1978 some similar railcars, numbered E.750. The FS ordered 60 trains, each made of 4 elements: 30 trains had two railcars and two trailers (ALe 724 + Le 884 + Le 883 + ALe 724) and due to their high acceleration were destined to the suburban services; the other 30 trains had only one railcar, with a driving trailer on the other side (ALe 724 + Le 884 + Le 884 + Le 724) and were destined to the regional services. Each train can carry 320 seated people. The trains were delivered from 198 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ALe 582 Interno
Ale is a type of beer brewed using a warm fermentation method, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied and fruity taste. Historically, the term referred to a drink brewed without hops. As with most beers, ale typically has a bittering agent to balance the malt and act as a preservative. Ale was originally bittered with gruit, a mixture of herbs or spices boiled in the wort before fermentation. Later, hops replaced gruit as the bittering agent. Etymology The word ''ale'' comes into English from its ancestor-language, Proto- Germanic. English belongs to the West Germanic branch of Proto- Germanic, and some other languages in this branch also attest to the word: Middle Dutch ''āle'' and ''ael'', and the Old Saxon word ''alo-fat'' 'ale-cup'. The word is also found throughout the North Germanic languages, almost certainly appearing in ancient runic inscriptions in the form '' alu'', and subsequently in Old Norse as ''ǫl''.
