ROLLING STOCK FOR THE SUBURBAN SERVICES OF THE ITALIAN STATE RAILWAYS

The Italian State Railways have developed suitable suburban public transport systems in the more important Italian conurbation areas such as Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Bologna and Naples. In this connection, it became necessary, after the end of the second world war, to provide purpose designed rolling stock for these services. Special vehicles with low slung floors were developed for the peak commuter services operated in the suburbs of the more important cities. These vehicles afford direct access from the station platforms through two large vestibules with double doors on either side.
