One reason for traveling on the high-speed route Torino - Milano, as with the high-speed routes Paris - Lyon and Madrid - Barcelona, ​​was the opportunity to photograph the elegant ETR 400 at full speed. In the FS on-line timetable, the Frecciarossa trains with ETR 400 are referred to as "Frecciarossa 1000". At around 10:30 there were two such trains five minutes apart at the photo location I had chosen near Livorno Ferraris in the Po Valley. A little later than I had expected, the first "ETR400" arrived... ...it wasn't until I was evaluating the images a few days later that I discovered that it wasn't an ETR 400 but the FS Trenitalia ETR 600 004 in front of the camera drove. I didn't notice this "small difference" as the train passed quickly, and the new Frecciarossa paintwork suits the ETR 600 perfectly. Clicking on the online timetable revealed that the performance of the FR 9508 is actually offered with an ETR 600. The "only" 250 km/h train was on its way from Trieste (06:00) to Torino Porta Nuova (at 11:00). June 15, 2024
