If you ride these trains, you must be on your toes at all times to make sure you find the doors, car steps, and don’t get your arm chopped off in those guillotine doors when they close.

If you're used to ride the primitive trains in other parts of the word and you cant handle the complicated yet very interesting and efficient train system in Italy, either wake up and learn or go visit Ungafukjyesu land. Do not criticize what you do not know
Wow, now i feel blessed that my city use ex-japanese commuter trains. Some of these trains looked as if they went through the garbage dump just to reach their destination
I'm from Rome and I used to take this line a lot from Flaminio to Saxa Rubra, where the national TV (RAI) offices are. It's amazing how that looks stuck in 1980 even in 2020. Oh, and it goes even better where this line goes outside Rome and towards Viterbo: single track, tight curves, barrierless road crossings and even mechanical signals. It's a rare piece of railway archeology, almost better than the narrow gauge Roma-Giardinetti.
I feel that many prefer to take a bus from Saxa Rubra towards Viterbo rather than the clackety-clackety train 😁 At least the busses are often quite packed. Also there is a modern train operating the west side of Bracciano.
i love this railway, it makes you relive the past. im planing to go from flaminio to viterbo using only this railway, 3 hours and half of journey. to go back to rome i will take the regional train, much faster but less "nicer" of an experience
One of my favourite little lines in Rome, I always take this every time I visit! I don't really see it as creepy, more like an old friend who's seen better days!
"I don't really see it as creepy, more like an old friend who's seen better days!" It's like saying "I don't see this excrement as a schiiit, I see it as a chocolate which had been digested by someone once already."
Those old trains with the folding doors and the folding stairs are fascinating! I notice they don't even try to remove the graffiti -- they just paint the train info and stickers over the graffiti and leave it there, lol.
For the grafitti, it's just a useless fight to remove it. Here in Belgium we have the same issue and it definitely looks better with the grafitti than have the chipped off paint, it's really ugly ://
When I visited Rome years ago our hotel was in the Parioli neighborhood which was not on the Metro line, so we had to take this train one stop down to connect to the Metro. Creepy, but in a fun way
One of the things I've wondered about this network since watching Beno's video: Are there any stations on this network besides Flaminio which have low-level platforms? It seems kinda weird to have those built-in stairs open and close along with the doors (at every stop) if they're not needed at all but one station.
@@DJHTransport in romania there is a station in north and platforms is worst Is really low and there is not underpassage and... and... and... is not enough large
The rail system in Italy is awesome from my experience, the high speed lines are as good as anywhere in Europe imo, loads of really interesting regional lines too. It's a feast, love it.
The regional trains are chronically late and rides cancelled because of malfunction are common. They even catch fire frome time to time. The italian rail way system is far from being decent
@@fabiovezzari2895 Compared to where I live my comment is still true, in my limited experience. In fairness I've only been on regional a few times and it was fine.

Look on the bright side we could live in America...
DJ, thank you for these delightful videos. My only experience with Rome subways was when I was a boy of 12 in 1963 and I was so impressed with the precision of platform to subway floor clearances. I was familiar with Paris' metro and paying attention when you entered as there was more variability. You have a great ear and eye for the machinery which really brings these video experiences to life.
@Barry Andersen ~ Via Della Stazione Laurentina I've been on many Italian regional trenitalia trains and inside the seats are really comfortable and have Air conditioning which helps especially during the hot summer months.
here we call it "Il Trenino" it is a really bad line and the trains always have problems, i live near a station and sometimes it is really really noisy when it breakes. it must be renovated ah this line connects the suburbs of rome to the center, ro its really important and a lot of people go on it.
Flaminio still has low platforms because the station was planned to be abandoned, and a new station for the railway and metro was planned to be built next to it. As usually in Rome, construction works for the new station are going painfully slowly, and so the actual Flaminio station is here to stay for a while.
Travelled this line a couple of years ago and you just wonder where the manangement has disappeared to! To turn out trains in this condition is inexcusable.
Its pretty common across Italy in Rome and south of it. Dysfunctionality, mismanagement, and some suspect mafia influence. But if you think this is bad, wait until you see the circumvesuvio in Naples.

This train line reminds me of the Northern City Line in London, GB, one which is very spooky and is not ever very busy outside of peak hours but at least the NCL doesn't have much graffiti...
@Enmity the Kindhearted Here in Belgium, trains get stored outside often and I guess it's just a useless fight to get rid of the grafitti as they'll get covered again anyway. Plus, it looks 100% better with grafitti than it does with some paint still on there and chipped off paint of the train itself
As a kid me and my frineds would ride it for fun for a few stations from Euclide to Saxa Rubra as it felt like going on a trip. Exciting and sligthly spooky.
This line is actually called "Roma Nord" railway, I'm a 39 year old roman and never heard it called "creepy", I don't think anyone in town calls it like that. Also because the majority of railways / metro lines in Rome qualify as "creepy". When I saw the video title I thought it was a report on the whole train/metro system.

I used to take this line evry single day when I was at High School. I Live in a small village close to Rome which is connected to the city by this line. Iv'e alway hated it, the last train from Rome is at half past eight pm... After that there is no way to get home. I stopped to use it since I've got my driving license and it's been two years now. I'd rather be stuck all day in traffic and spend hours looking for a parking space than riding this train XD
I was living in prima ports for a month back then I used to take this train everyday to work and back.it was alright. Only thing was the way the doors close scared the shit out of me every single time
i used this a couple of times when i went to rome to see concerts at the parco della musica beyond the parioli neighborhood where i'd got a room. the euclide stop was the closest to my destination and the fastest way there. rather than creeped out (it's a little outdated but nothing that i hadn't already seen, living further north in the italian peninsula than rome) i was puzzled by the general lack of personnel and directions, kinda seemed like i was taking a random train. but at the end it worked fine.

You have to return in mid-2023 or 2024, as ATAC (the company running this line, Rome-owned) lost the contract and it was all passed under COTRAL (regional company that'll manage the train and the line) and ASTRAL (regional company that'll manage the infrastructure)
Lol the creepiest part are those living around those parts, especially evenings. I find quite sad to see in which state many of our train stations are. On the other hand older trains are way more efficient than recent ones. I still remember a regional train I was used to take during university. It was maybe for 50-60 passengers, of course not that fast, but it had leather couches in a perfect condition! Unfortunately it was later dismissed and replaced with a horrible new model.
As long as you reach your destination safely, it's fine. Doesn't seem creepy at all. You should appreciate 80s engineering that those units are operational today.
Many western German cities also still use rolling stock from the 70s and 80s as their LRT/Metro backbone. Although they are usually better maintained than the ones in the video and some have been modernized (e.g. the ones in Cologne got Air Conditioning fitted to them)
@Barry Andersen ~ Via Della Stazione Laurentina I still don't get why they don't clean up that graffiti. Yes I am aware it costs money but even so, NYC managed to do it. Either they don't care or don't have the resources.

You have to return in mid-2023 or 2024, as ATAC (the company running this line, Rome-owned) lost the contract and it was all passed under COTRAL (regional company that'll manage the train and the line) and ASTRAL (regional company that'll manage the infrastructure)

hi whats the name on the song to beginning ?
The platforms are really low
Can you wash all the trains?
Lol the creepiest part are those living around those parts, especially evenings. I find quite sad to see in which state many of our train stations are. On the other hand older trains are way more efficient than recent ones. I still remember a regional train I was used to take during university. It was maybe for 50-60 passengers, of course not that fast, but it had leather couches in a perfect condition! Unfortunately it was later dismissed and replaced with a horrible new model.
They should hire guards or smth to protect the trains from vandals and do a fresh paintjob.
Looks like the Flushing New York 7 train in the 70s more or less.
Don't say that the Paris metro is dirty after that
Wich beackrooms leavel is this?

Different type trains that's all. Kinda cool.
Exterior has graffiti but the interior is nice and clean
LOL looks can be deceiving
As long as you reach your destination safely, it's fine. Doesn't seem creepy at all. You should appreciate 80s engineering that those units are operational today.
NYC subways have cars built in the 70s (R44 built by St. Louis Car Company and R46 built by Pullman Company) in daily service on multiple routes.
Many western German cities also still use rolling stock from the 70s and 80s as their LRT/Metro backbone. Although they are usually better maintained than the ones in the video and some have been modernized (e.g. the ones in Cologne got Air Conditioning fitted to them)
This is giving me some serious Half-Life 2 vibes.
Turns out City 17 wasn't in Eastern Europe at all, it was just Rome.
sadly the HL announcement voice is only used in the old metro lines 😁
Wow, I thought the Rome Metropolitana was scary already!
music in intro pls?
Doesn't look that creepy to me. You should see "Vukov spomenik" Station in Belgrade - looks like a Fallout 3 metro station.
Umm why so much graffiti
I guess Rome has a similar reputation as NYC
@Barry Andersen ~ Via Della Stazione Laurentina I still don't get why they don't clean up that graffiti. Yes I am aware it costs money but even so, NYC managed to do it. Either they don't care or don't have the resources.
@Barry Andersen ~ Via Della Stazione Laurentina Well that makes more sense
@Barry Andersen ~ Via Della Stazione Laurentina and there are a lots of trains
