Rome T.ni-Naples C.le AV 9519 Milan Malpensa-Naples Central in the driver's cab of the ETR 500-27 DVD 60 minutes production Tg-Trains 2011 The journey in the driver's cab of the ETR 500-27 Frecciarossa from Milan Malpensa to Naples C.le. The fifth and final part takes place along the new Rome-Naples AV line. After leaving Rome, the train runs east, alongside the line to Sulmona and Pescara, to bypass the capital and climb the Alban Hills. The ride is regular, but the ETR 500 struggles a lot to reach 300 km/h on the 21 per thousand ramps. After crossing the hill at Labico, the ETR launches into speed, which will not decrease until the gates of the Neapolitan suburbs. Vibrations-cabrations “bogie-body”, fortunately not perceptible to the travellers, attack the E.404 at over 250 km/h. We compensate for these motions with mechanical maneuvers to limit vibrations during recovery.
