Turin, my city, the station, the tracks that through the train that also takes me to work outside the city, here on the right is visible the large maintenance / check beam of the passenger carriages that are controlled and powered by electric columns, inside the sheds are washed, cleaned, sanitized and repaired with visit pits for repairs on the bottom of the wagon or up to 3 m with side jacks when, for example, the carts must be replaced.
Here the old but always effective diesel locomotives of the D 245 group are in action, from the unmistakable noise of the engine and from the still 3-axle movement with connecting rods.
In the middle bend also the double track directed in France and for Milan.
The line for Genoa is instead in the middle, the leftmost tracks alongside the old freight yard also lead to the large shunting and locomotive deposit of Lingotto. The yellow house on the right ex railway offices dates back to 1900.

@Gio51xIf you look La Plata with SV take a loof at this train. It is a small train (no locomotive) that connects different Universities and a General Hospital.

It is called Tren Universitario.

congratulations I did not know there were trains dedicated to university students, ie a line that runs through all the concentrated faculties, .. even the website is very rich in details and information, the train is very modern, the tracks seem a little less.
