第2278a期:Italy’s Historic Trains Draw Visitors to Popular Areas

Episode 302 Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description

As it moves across central Italy, an old train pulling carriages from the 1930s and 1950s crosses the forests of the Majella National Park and the Abruzzo highlands.当它穿越意大利中部时,一列拖着20世纪30年代和50年代车厢的老火车穿过了马耶拉国家公园的森林和阿布鲁佐高地。


Across 100 kilometers, the Park Railway, also known as the Italian Transiberian, travels through valleys and tunnels and over old bridges called viaducts. It offers visitors a view of small, rural and hidden villages in the country.

在100公里的路程中,这条被称为意大利西伯利亚铁路的公园铁路穿越山谷、隧道和被称为高架桥的旧桥梁。它为游客提供了乡村隐秘小村庄的景色。


It was the first of some 1,000 kilometers of rail line to have re-opened under a project by Fondazione FS, part of the state-controlled national rail company. The project called "Timeless tracks" aims to take visitors to forgotten parts of Italy instead of the popular cities.

这是国家铁路公司下属的FS基金会在一个项目中重新开放的约1000公里铁路中的第一条。该项目名为“永恒轨道”,旨在带领游客前往被遗忘的意大利地区,而非热门城市。


"These are tracks that have lived through different eras, they have carried soldiers to the front, cows to pasture... they were mistakenly considered unproductive during the 1960s and 70s but are now once again of value," Luigi Cantamessa, who heads Fondazione FS, told Reuters.

“这些轨道经历了不同的时代,曾运送士兵到前线,牛群到牧场……在20世纪60年代和70年代,它们被错误地认为是没有生产力的,但现在再次具有价值,”FS基金会负责人路易吉·坎塔梅萨告诉路透社。


Inspired by train travel in Switzerland, the project now carries 45,000 visitors a year across its 13 lines. Fondazione FS expects to open two new ones by 2026, both in the southern area of Sicily.

受瑞士火车旅行的启发,该项目现在每年通过其13条线路运送4.5万名游客。FS基金会预计在2026年前开放两条新线路,均位于西西里岛南部地区。


"What were considered to be the dry branches of Italy's train network, have now proved to be the green shoots," Cantamessa added.

“曾被认为是意大利铁路网络的枯枝,现在已被证明是新芽,”坎塔梅萨补充道。


Norma Pagiotti is a 28-year-old from Florence, Italy traveling on the train with two friends.

诺玛·帕吉奥蒂是一名28岁的意大利佛罗伦萨人,正与两位朋友乘坐这列火车旅行。
