The railway runs along the road on the left, keeping close to certain sections. Then he disappears from sight, hidden by a hill, which respectfully around and away in the countryside.
Now, here again, scroll down near the road but this time we find to our right.
Many of you will surely have recognized the Flaminia road and the local railway Roma-Viterbo, who joins for a good part of the route.
Sacramento, Riano, Castelnuovo di Porto, Morley, Magliano, Rignano Flaminio, are some of the stations whose names evoke the related countries. All countries in the last twenty years have seen a dramatic increase of the population. A great migration in which the protagonists were, for the most part, the inhabitants of Rome who were leaving the busy city center or outskirts unlivable Roman for a greener environment and a more human scale.
Of course, the work was still in Rome and was conscious of having to face a journey to the office, but it was said, the Flaminia road is smooth and then .... there's also the train you leads straight to the heart of Rome e. .. "A few years become a metropolitan area."
Year after year, the situation is changing more and more coming and always for the worse. Today, during rush hour, thousands of cars traveling through the Flaminia. The journey by car, reach the office, it has become unbearably long. Has anyone tried to ride a train, but will not speak! Few racing cars and uncomfortable and crowded!
Yes, because even though they are at least twenty years if they continue to talk, our railroad is not became underground if not only the stretch of city from Piazzale Flaminio to Prima Porta
Yet for those who live north of Rome in the area that revolves around the Flaminia, today, the railroad should be the obvious choice to get to work, university or high school in Rome.
Whether for economic reasons, both for environmental reasons.
The economic reasons we all live and they are aggravated by the day. Diesel fuel and gasoline reached the price that we know and go, today, in the office by car has become an unbearable expense for most of us.
Environmental reasons we remember them the "average" day in and other things as well. We hear about "ciodue emissions" at every turn. Our newspapers are full of articles about the Kyoto treaty and commitments, including our own government, to reduce these "emissions", with significant costs to be faced by the manufacturing industry and the community as a whole.
Personally I am not convinced that climate change involve the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but since the vast majority of "opinion makers seem to believe it, I expect less media terrorism and more consistent decisions.
And then? We are lucky to be a railway ready-made, you could leave your car at home a few thousand people, you could eliminate the emission of exhaust gases of thousands of car (along with its carbon dioxide other compounds not exactly healthy!) might solve the problem of queues in the car on the Flaminia, could alleviate the traffic of Rome, during peak hours, eliminating a few thousand cars to the frantic search for parking (the mayor Alemanno take note !).
could all of this and our beloved directors, after more than twenty years, yet, the chatter?
For years there was talk of a railroad, which had been badly built: full of twists and, even worse, with only one track.
were required, they said, a big financial investment to double the track and adjust the path to make it suitable for fast trains from the path of a subway.
Today, new technology, called a "pendulum" to manufacture the trains, it can easily overcome the problems of location and operation of computerized traffic makes it possible to limit the need for double track only to stations where trains in opposite directions take turns.
And then? The double-track railway stations there already. I trains, a "pendulum", just buy the appropriate number. What's missing? It seems that the current electricity grid can not support the increased traffic of trains required and, therefore, should be strengthened.
Benedetti politicians, why, how many more years must we wait?
Side note . Along with the strengthening of the electricity grid will be good and just equip each station with a parking lot of exchange and ensure access, safety, train station, on both sides of the railway, pedestrian bridges or underpasses air. Infrastructure, today, are not always present and this is cause of further trouble for users.
