Cab Ride Ferrovia Circumetnea Gurrida - Cibali (Sicily - Italy) train driver's view 4K

Questo video è un capolavoro assoluto

In teory the project is to extend the actually Catania's metro beetween the city airport and Adrano. From the city centre to Adrano the line has/will replace the Circumetnea line. Until Paternò it will be a totally new infrastrucutre and beetween Paternò and Adrano they will reconvert to standard gauge all the bypass tunnel wich were be build to be part on the metro line. The line has been financed until Paternò with the next generation EU, that means that until june 2026 construction must end. For the rest of the metro nobody knows.

Another fantastic video from Italy, thanks! Landscapes are definitely out-of-this-world. Especially liked the basalt rocks and the views of Etna.

I thoroughly enjoyed this virtual trip. I've always wondered what Sicily is like, and now I know. I love seeing new places, and this has ticked all the boxes. Thank you! 😊

treni e linea da terzo mondo🥲

Beautiful day on a beautiful island. Thank you!

bellissimo, ma mancala tratta Randazzo Riposto

Sarebbe molto interessante e molto bello anche il tratto Palermo-Trapani; spero tu possa effettuarlo e offrirci le immagini quanto prima, grazie.

Watching these videos I feel nostalgic and a strong desire to visit Sicily again one summer.A beautiful island

The scenery is astounding.....👍😊

Sicily Italia how nice !!🥸Surely nice place to have holiday flat ? LOL

nice vide

Vedo solo sciara e deserto Lavico. Vuoi mettere un giro sul lago d Iseo o costiera amalfitana?

Un tunel excavado cerca del Volcán Etna tiene mucho peligro...

A proposito di vulcani…..sarebbe bello vedere la circumvesuviana ,anche lei a scartamento ridotto

Bellissima linea, soprattutto la parte alta, più "genuina". Grazie per aver pubblicato il video!

but the video starts at Gurrida station not in Randazzo. The suppressed stop indicated as Gurrida in the video is instead the Tartaraci stop. As proof of this I say that Gurrida station has two platforms and related railway switches. Anyway, great video and breathtaking landscapes. 🙂

I cycled around sicily last year! It is such a beautiful island! Thanks for the memories!

Bravo et merci infiniment pour ce beau voyage

Such a beautiful line as always! From the slopes of Etna to Catania, a wonderful journey winds along the basalt and lava rocks with small old and new generation DMUs. I knew the line that goes from Randazzo to Riposto on the other side. Luckily the line has been modernized. Years ago I had seen a rare video of a first cabride in the 90s in which the line was in pitiful conditions. This is the sad situation of railway equipment in Italy. The rolling stock is often lacking, ruined tracks, little maintenance: this is the reflection of the regional lines in Italy, especially in Southern Italy. Here, fortunately, being close to a large and dense metropolitan area, something has changed. There is talk of extending the Catania Metro or creating a suburban train-tram system on the model of the Spanish Cercanias. Let's hope so! Man YOU ARE CRAZY! You even did the Circumetnea! A beautiful line! you amazed me! Until the 1980s, Sicily was full of freight lines, especially for the unloading of minerals, but now they are all abandoned. It would also be nice to do the Palermo-Agrigento line along the Platani valley, which is one of the few electrified lines in the interior. Or the old route of the Palermo-Caltanissetta-Catania, also an electrified line, but an old line that needs renovation. We eagerly and gratefully await all lines in Europe now! Well!

The departure station in this video is actually Gurrida, not Randazzo.

Very beautiful diesel line!

Beautiful view❤

Muy buen video, cómo la mayoría de los que haces, lo que me sorprende esta línea es que tenga traviesa monobloque de hormigón y carril soldado y la velocidad sea tan baja, no lo comprendo!!!! Ha dicho otra persona en francés, que hicieras cab ride en la línea Cevenol de Clermont Ferrand a Nimes, pero yo te aconsejaría "el tren de las maravillas", de Ventimiglia a Cuneo en Italia, pasando por Breil sur Roya en Francia, lo que he visto de él y la zona por la que pasa es muy bonita. Un saludo.

Thank you for an extremely interesting video, though scenically the line was not quite as good as I expected. But what I found amazing was that an enormous amount of money has obviously been spent on modernising the line (though no sign of electrification) but, despite passing through some quite sizeable towns, there were very few passengers! And the service appears to be a handful of trains a day. (See European Rail Timetable table 644.)

Beautiful ride. Cute horn 😊

Ma è qualcosa di STRAORDINARIO!!!! Finalmente sei riuscito a caricare le STUPENDE LINEE ITALIANE, dove non si racconta solo la ferrovia ma anche la bellezza del paesaggio italiano!!!!

I have just finished the trip (very beatiful landscape, truly entertaining), but I have to make some points about the infrastructure: 1) the 'grandeur' showed by small stops and stations, an excess, considering the low passenger traffic; 2) the slow pace of the trains (max 45 Km/h), when we have seen that other lines (notably the RhB) can do more with a metric gauge, even at higher altitude; 3) the unsettling presence in a very active seismic place of long tunnels. I am not sure local authorities judged rightly in rebuild a historic railway this way.

A railway line that was previously unknown to me - captured in the film in the best weather and with many Mediterranean impressions such as black volcanic rock and interesting vegetation 👍
Nevertheless, two questions that you or one of your viewers might be able to answer:
1.) On the side of the route you can see many abandoned ruins where only the walls are still standing... Were these perhaps former railway buildings such as stations or gatekeepers' houses?
2.) The rails were painted white on the sides almost along the entire route!? Possibly to prevent overheating in summer? I read before that temperatures can reach up to 40 degrees, especially on the south coast 🙄

It was another cinematic pleasure 🙏 unfortunately somewhat marred by vibrations during the entire journey at higher speeds - perhaps from the camera or a part on the outside of the railcar 🤔
But what's the name of an old Rolling Stones song: "You Can't Always Get What You Want"! 😄😄
Many greetings 🖖

I know this route from the German series "Eisenbahnromantik", but driving it from the train driver's perspective is an excellent addition. Very good video. 👍😊🛤💯🙋‍♂

At first I was thinking: "Cool, snow in the vulcano!" But then I saw the "snow" moving upward and realized it was smoke, yikes!

Also Tim from TheTimTraveller covered this...

And no, this isn't the volcano that covered the roman cities, that was vesuvius and its near Napoli.

I travelled this line at the beginning of may. It's a wondeful and scenic railway. But the video don't start in Randazzo. The station of Randazzo is inside the city. I think this is Gumda.

Qualche giorno fa ho osservato il percorso Palermo-Messina, adesso questo affascinante percorso. Grazie e complimenti!

Beautiful.

Brilliant trip to see county and houses first time i have seen Sicily UK viewer i give it Five Stars

Very nice scenery thank you for the ride.

Grazie per aver pubblicato questa linea; bella, complimenti!
Buona giornata e buona Domenica.
Ciao.

Why is the tracks white???

Grazie e complimenti per il bellissimo ed interessante "cab ride" in una bella giornata di sole. E grazie per tutte le info citate.

Bel cabride, ma do alcune correzioni al video. Il video non parte da Randazzo, ma da Gurrida, e la piccola fermata dopo Gurrida e prima di Maletto non è Gurrida, ma Tartaraci 😁

Your best one yet in my opinion. Thank You. What a stunning Country.

Good ❤ اللهم صل على محمد وال محمد ❤

❤❤❤ Хотелось бы увидеть больше видео из Сицилии .

très belle vidéo ! Si vous avez la possibilité de pouvoir filmer en France la ligne de Clermont Ferrand à Nîmes avec le train Cevenol ça serait génial je sais que vous pouvez faire des miracles car cela n à jamais était fait ! Merci

Quando farete un video da Taranto a Lecce

It must be confronting at times living in close proximity with a temperamental old person like this. The detritus of previous eruptions is visible in many places. Another great video.

Thanks for the walk.
