| Post subject: | Italy's National Railroad Museum in Naples |
All, I am working my way through the last 10 years' worth of Britain's Steam Railway magazine recently given to me by a friend. Of interest, was a blub about Italy's National Railroad Museum. Here are a couple of links of photos: http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/italy01.htm http://www.on-track-on-line.com/pietrar ... rarsa.html I like how the steam locomotives are displayed in the erecting shop, complete with transfer table. Certainly looks like it would be worth a visit, if one is in the Naples area. |

Wish I would have known about this place in the 70's!! I was in Naples several times from 76-80 while in the Navy. DBH |

If you know where to look, Italy has a lot of preserved rail to offer. They have a quality railfan magazine called "Tutto Treno" (http://www.duegieditrice.it/tutto-treno-sommario/) The Milan science museum ("Leonardo da Vinci") also has a large shed full of locomotives. The main building has a complete sailing ship INSIDE, which still boggles me. If you know, Milan is not a seaport, and the city center is a typical old, dense urban area. I still can not imagine how they moved the ship into the museum. They also have the middle slice of a small ocean liner inside the museum. |

FYI an Italian museum directory I found lists the open days as Monday through Saturday. The proper name is Museo Nazionale Ferroviario di Pietrarsa |
