Ferrovie dello Stato Trenitalia ETR 500 (mono-current)

A Ferrovie dello Stato Trenitalia ETR 500 (Elettro Treno Rapido or Rapid Electric Train) mono-current EMU of the Trenitalia Eurostar Italia at Venice San Lucia Station Italy. The top speed of these units is a cool 186mph!

 

Sometimes these are generically and incorrectly called Pendolinos in Italy, but as defined by their name, Pendolino ETR units tilt and these sub class 500 variants do not.. ;-)

 

Nice photo taken by David on his travels and is posted here with very kind permission.
