Views this afternoon from #Savudrija #Salvore, the northwestern tip of #Istria ๐ญ๐ท: ships to, and from, #Koper ๐ธ๐ฎ and #Trieste ๐ฎ๐น are passing in front of the #Dolomites mountain range, which is about 100 kms away. Only the autumn months provide these views.
Whenever travelling to #Vienna ๐ฆ๐น by train from the south and in the evening, I try to catch #EuroCity #Emona from #Ljubljana ๐ธ๐ฎ and #Trieste ๐ฎ๐น. Itโs got a #Slovenian #DiningCar, one of a kind - in the eyes of the railfan. (And thereโs just one of these.) My snack tonight is composed of a #Kranj sausage and a beer from #Ljubljana.

Still work to do, and the photo is noisy. Suggestions are well accepted
Impressions from last nightโs #Trenitalia ๐ฎ๐น #InterCity Notte ride to #Trieste in a โsuperiorโ sleeper cabin:
- an (almost hidden) closet behind the individual seat which folds away
- two more beds right below the roof (claustrophobics abstain). These places are not purchasable I think.
- as in all sleeper classes: breakfast and a morning newspaper.
With #FS ๐ฎ๐น #Trenitallia #InterCity Notte #ICN to #Trieste. The train originates in #Roma Termini and is currently one of the few Italian night trains that include a #T3 #T3S sleeper. These cars, rebuilt from the T2s type, feature a number of cabins with en-suite facilities.
Taking an #FS ๐ฎ๐น #Trenitalia #InterCity from #Trieste. Nice views of the #Adriatic just after departure. The train is in push-pull mode, with a Class E.401 (a rebuilt E.402A) on one end and a cab car (driving trailer) on the other. No @diningcar though, just vending machines for snacks and drinks.
Hello from the lovely #Opicina ๐ฎ๐น #tram. The line climbs from the port city of #Trieste up to the Karst plateau. On the steepest section, a rope-operated pod pushes the tramcar up (and slows it down on its way back) making it a sort of #funicular. The trams were built 90 years ago, in 1935.
#Trieste ๐ฎ๐น Centrale earlier today: this is the #FS #Trenitalia #Frecciarossa to #Milan, via Venezia #Mestre and #Verona. A Class 700 #ETR unit is working this service. This train type was originally built as #AnsaldoBreda #V250 for the #Amsterdam ๐ณ๐ฑ to #Brussels ๐ง๐ช #Fyra highspeed programme.

Mesmerising wave patterns blown by the Bora (a strong wind blowing from the mountains down to the sea) on the coast in front of Miramare near #Trieste. So cool! #science #physics #hydrodynamics
New morning pictures close around Miramare castle outside #Trieste
Good news! (We need some.)
As of Feb. 1, the Opicina, the famous tram-funicular of the city of #Trieste, is back in operation.
What's a tram-funicular, you ask? Hold my Illy, I'll explain...

"We are a private company, we cannot stay open longer". Thus is the answer I had when I comment on the fact that the #baggage deposit at the #Trieste #train #station was closing at 5.30 pm.
This is why I want #PublicServices!!! (Or automatic boxes!!)
