New trains, new emotions

At the end of 2024 the first new train of the Vigezzina-Centovalli Railway will enter service and, during 2025, all rolling stock will be gradually replaced by new, state-of-the-art trains. As usual, each train will bear a name reflecting its unique identity and its connection with the beauties of the territory it crosses. To make this moment even more symbolic, FART decided to directly involve passengers and railway enthusiasts who were asked to choose the names of the new trains.

To define the names of the 8 new trains, a competition was held from 26th February to 31st March 2024, entitled “New trains, new emotions”. The competition registered the participation of 1,600 people, among whom Mr. Mattia Modini was chosen, who won a splendid iPhone.

The winners will be announced at the arrival of the first new train, scheduled for summer 2024. More information will follow!
