FL1 (Lazio Regional Railways)
The FL1 (until 2012 FR1) is a regional rail route forming part of the Lazio regional railways network ( it, ferrovie regionali del Lazio), which is operated by Trenitalia, and converges on the city of Rome, Italy. The route operates over the infrastructure of the Florence–Rome railway, the Pisa–Livorno–Rome railway and the Rome–Fiumicino railway. Within the territory of the ''comune'' of Rome, it plays the role of a commuter railway. It is estimated that on average about 65,000 passengers travel on an FR1 train each day. The designation FR1 appears only in publicity material (e.g. public transport maps), in the official timetables, and on signs at some stations. The electronic destination boards at stations show only the designation "R1". Route * Orte ↔ Fiumicino Aeroporto The FL1, a cross-city route, runs from Orte, in the province of Viterbo, in a southerly direction over the Florence–Rome railway as far as Roma Tiburtina.

Florence–Rome Railway
The Florence–Rome railway is part of the traditional main north–south trunk line of the Italian railway network. The line is referred to by Ferrovie dello Stato (the State Railways) as the ''Linea Lenta'' (meaning "slow line", abbreviated ''LL'') to distinguish it from the parallel high-speed line. The ''Linea Lenta'' is now mainly used for regional services, for the InterCity services — rather than the faster Le Frecce trains — between Florence and Rome and for the majority of freight trains. Some types of passenger train are routed on the line to serve smaller stations not served by the high-speed line or in order to improve traffic flow during peak periods or other periods of congestion. High-speed trains on the Florence-Rome route use the parallel Florence–Rome high-speed line (''Direttissima'', meaning "most direct", abbreviated DD) which was partially opened on 24 February 1977 and was completed on 26 May 1992. History The origins of the line design date back to ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Rome–Ancona Railway
The Rome–Ancona railway (or Ancona–Orte railway) is a rail line in central Italy connecting the city of Ancona with Orte, and therefore with the capital city, Rome. The line crosses the Apennine Mountains from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea, passing through Foligno, Spoleto, and Terni. History Plans for a railway line between Rome and the Adriatic coast began in 1846 in the Papal state, after the death of Pope Gregory XVI, who strongly opposed rail. The construction of the new railway was authorized on 7 November 1846 by the new Pope Pius IX, to link Rome with the main port on the Adriatic sea, Ancona.Ministero del commercio e dei Lavori Pubblici, ''Ragguaglio di quanto è stato operato dal 1859 al 1863'' (railways section), Rome, Tipografia della Reverenda Camera Apostolica, 1864. The aim was also to reach Bologna and Modena, and thus to connect the Papal state to Lombardy and Veneto railway network. The project was initially named ''Strada Ferrata «Pio ...

Rete Ferroviaria Italiana
Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) is the Italian railway infrastructure manager, subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), a state-owned holding company. RFI is the owner of Italy's railway network, it provides signalling, maintenance and other services for the railway network. It also operates train ferries between the Italian Peninsula and Sicily. RFI's origins can be traced back to a series of railway sector reforms enacted by the Italian government during the late 1980s and 1990s. The agency was founded on 1 July 2001 in accordance with a European directive on rail transport that mandated the separation of the infrastructure operator and the service operators. Prior to RFI's creation, the Italian rail network was managed directly by FS. The agency has been periodically accused to a failure to be impartial, including allegations of favouring sibling company Trenitalia over independent operations; the company has been fined in the past for anti-trust breaches. Since its creation, ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Railway Station
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...

Trieste (Rome)
Trieste is the 17th quarter of Rome (Italy), identified by the initials Q. XVII. The toponym also indicates the Urban Zone 2E of the Municipio II of Rome. The eastern area of the quarter is known as the African Quarter, due to the presence of odonyms relating to the colonies of the Kingdom of Italy. Geography The quarter is located in the north-central area of the city. It borders: * to the north, with the Zone Z. I Val Melaina, along the river Aniene in the stretch between the Ponte Salario and the bridge of the FL1 regional railway. * to the north-east, with the quarter Q. XVI Monte Sacro, along the river Aniene in the stretch between the bridge of the FL1 regional railway and the bridge of Via delle Valli, then between the FL1 regional railway and Via Nomentana. * to the south-east, with the quarter Q.

Monte Sacro (quarter)
Monte Sacro is the 16th ''quartiere'' of the city of Rome in Italy. As a quarter, or second level administrative division, it is one of two that comprise the first level division of Municipio III. Monte Sacro takes its name from the namesake Monte Sacro hill. History Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the area became significantly depopulated, and ancient patrician villas were later replaced by medieval farmsteads. However, the zone was constantly controlled, as the Ponte Nomentano bridge was a relevant outpost and an important crossing point toward the northern Latium. Traditionally, Ponte Nomentano is considered the place where Pope Leo III met Charlemagne in 800. Because of the distance from the city, the territory became a place for jaunts and trips to the countryside, up to the beginning of the 19th century. According to the tradition, it was during a trip in Monte Sacro countryside in 1805 that Simon Bolivar took the oath to free the Latin American people, after hi ...

Via Nomentana
Via Nomentana is an ancient road of Italy, leading North-East from Rome to Nomentum (modern Mentana), a distance of . It originally bore the name "Via Ficulensis", from the old Latin village of Ficulea, about from Rome. It was subsequently extended to Nomentum, but never became an important high road, and merged in the Via Salaria a few kilometers beyond Nomentum. It is followed as far as Nomentum by the modern state road, but some traces of its pavement still exist. Ashby cites his own contribution to ''Papers of British School at Rome'', iii. 38 sqq. Originally starting from now-destroyed Porta Collina in the Servian Walls, in the third century emperor Aurelian build the Porta Nomentana in his new set of walls. Pope Pius IV decided to move the first stretch of the road and built the Porta Pia for this purpose. Roman bridges There are the remains of at least one Roman bridge along the road, which is the Ponte Nomentano. See also *Roman road *Roman bridge *Roman engineeri ...
