Catania, Sicily - private and mainline railways

Italy - 2015

This was an afternoon visit truncated by torrential thunderstorms. The first priority was the 950mm gauge Circumetna Railway and its depot at Catania Borgo. It was a Sunday in late September so no trains were running. The shed contained a number of working single car DMUs plus a number under repair or reconstruction. A quick visit to Catania Centrale station saw a class E656 with an inter-city train.
