Remarks & Notes |
Highspeed tilting train ETR 470 # 007 of the Cisalpino is running the CIS 155 from Zürich via Milano to Trieste on the middle level of the Biaschina staircase on the Gotthard south ramp. The tilting train is running at 90 instead of 80 km/h through the 300 meter radius curves of the Gotthard mountain line. Cisalpino had 9 of this ETR 470 trains, which were built by FIAT Ferroviaria (Alstom) in Savigliano. When the Cisalpino company was liquidated in december 2009, 4 of this trains came to the SBB, but were withdrawn and scrapped in 2014. One end car of a ETR 470 is preserved by SBB Historic and stabled in the shed of Erstfeld. |
