Today is a wonderful sunny day... Venice bound express train "Intercity Plus" 633 leaves Central Station behind a 1970 built (90s rebuilt) B-B E 444 class electric locomotive; this engine, born to haul high speed trains and still employed in fast passenger service, is no doubt one of most successful italian state railway's electric locomotives.
