- In this video, you can enjoy the cab ride - a train driver's view from Gurrida to Catania Borgo in Sicily, Italy on the "Ferrovia Circumetnea" in the resolution of 4K/60 frames per second.
The Ferrovia Circumetnea (roughly translated as "Round-Etna Railway") is a narrow-gauge, 950 mm (3 ft 1+3⁄8 in), regional railway line in Sicily. It was constructed between 1895 and 1898. As the name suggests, the 110-kilometer (68-mile) line follows a route almost completely encircles the Mount Etna volcano. From its terminal in Catania, the line starts westward and loops around Mount Etna in a clockwise direction (as seen on the map), eventually reaching the other terminal at the seaside town of Riposto, approximately 28 kilometers (17 miles) northeast of Catania.
The original terminal was at Catania Porto, although Catania Central (the mainline station) was the last stop for the trains. However, in the 1990s the section from there to Catania Borgo (4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long) was converted to standard gauge and moved underground for most of its length for use as a new metro (Metropolitana di Catania). The original terminus, the Porto station, was also reinstated. Therefore, the Circumetnea trains now terminate at Catania Borgo.
The Ferrovia Circumetnea (FCE) also operates the Metropolitana. The offices for both are at Catania Borgo.

It is always good to discover new landscapes. This line, with its rural, city areas, the spring, and the majestic Mount Etna, is beautiful.
@RunVirtual5 Indeed. It is alway good to explore and get to know all those railway gems that exist all around the world. I love it. Thank you for joining me on this journeys.
Agree👏👍
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.
@GiuseppeMichieli Thank you for your observations. Interesting...
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!!!!
@emiliospinelli5732 I am glad you liked this journey.
Single track through the villages with green landscape. I like it so much...
@fitrahidayat308 I am glad that you like it.
Complimenti per questo video ,così in 4k non l avevo mai visto 👍
@tuttoruote Grazie.
I cycled around sicily last year! It is such a beautiful island! Thanks for the memories!
My pleasure! It is always good to bring back good memories.
Enchanted journey through the Mt Etna volcanic fertile slopes. Thanks.
@GiuseppeMichieli Very welcome
Grazie e complimenti per il bellissimo ed interessante "cab ride" in una bella giornata di sole. E grazie per tutte le info citate.
@javierguidounicaud6621 You are very welcome. I am glad that you liked. it.
Das ist eine wirklich interessante und faszinierende Strecke. Ich war zwar in Catania und auch ganz oben am Ätna , aber mit dieser Eisenbahn bin ich noch nie gefahren. Danke für das Erlebnis an RailRelaxation! -
This is a really interesting and fascinating route. I've been to Catania and also to the top of Etna, but I've never ridden this train before. Thanks for the experience to RailRelaxation! -
Questo è un percorso davvero interessante e affascinante. Sono stato a Catania e anche sulla cima dell'Etna, ma non avevo mai preso questo treno prima. Grazie per l'esperienza a RailRelaxation!
@montgomeryscott1656 Thank you very much for your comment. I have never been on the top of Etna, the views from the train are just amazing. Sometimes the landscape seems that it is foremother planet😊
No vabbè incredibile, complimenti per aver filmato questa tratta!
@AndreaDAuria1 Grazie.
Thank you so much for your videos. They relax me and help my depression. Long may it continue!
@matthewwishart2006 I am very happy to hear this. I hope they will help you in the future too. I wish you nice and sunny day.
Watching these videos I feel nostalgic and a strong desire to visit Sicily again one summer.A beautiful island
@momchilnikolov3808 Glad to hear that. It is a beautiful place.
“ grazie assai”... we’re so in difficult at now in this ‘remaining time’ and in this place , 🥺💔and my Dad can find joy at least in This!!... 😌🙏🏼
@BeardyChild I am lad that your dad can find joy watching this videos and that it helps him to feel better a bit. I wish you and your dad all the best.
Beautiful ride. Cute horn 😊

Qualche giorno fa ho osservato il percorso Palermo-Messina, adesso questo affascinante percorso. Grazie e complimenti!
@cyperusus Grazie per c complimenti. I am glad that you liked it.
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.
@lynellewilson9112 Well said.
This was my first trip on Sicilia. Great landscape, thx for sharing 👍
@peterthill Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RailRelaxation I always enjoy you rides. So pls keep the good work up! 👍

Another great video. I really am enjoying your Spanish, Brazilian and Swiss videos as well. Keep up the great work!!!!
@BruceBowman-wz9or Thank you. I appreciate that. I will keep on, for sure. I am enjoying in what I am doing. The only obstacle (well, one of them😊) is time....I wish you nice day!
Bellissima linea, soprattutto la parte alta, più "genuina". Grazie per aver pubblicato il video!

Another great video. Thank you!
@anamarijaj.4162 You are welcome. Enjoy the ride!
That was an interesting line. Especially with moving parts of the line underground to avoid winding routes through several towns.
@Sacto1654 Yes, this is an interesting solution. Thank for your comment.
This video is a work of art !
@oniah2 Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment.
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! 😊
@annawinters4346 Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful day on a beautiful island. Thank you!
@Wallykget1 My pleasure!
Thanks gorgeous 😅😅😅 love the scenery
@JoshHodginsBwfc Hello. Glad you enjoyed the journey.
@@RailRelaxation can you come England
Questo video è un capolavoro assoluto
@n54engine Grazie mille!
Another fantastic video from Italy, thanks! Landscapes are definitely out-of-this-world. Especially liked the basalt rocks and the views of Etna.
@mikhails2883 Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
@wladislaw79 Hello. Thank you for your nice and very interesting comment. I am working on the other European lines all the time🙂..a bit here and a bit there🙂. I wish you a nice evening.
Excellent train journey.
@jamesfriery Thanks a lot 😊

@lucia9084 Vero.
thank you for an amazing trip with gret views of the volcano! I hope you will consider also doing the tyrrenian coast in calabria and the adriatic line in the future
@trainrailfan671 Thank you for your suggestions. I have many plans...doing my best...
@@RailRelaxation and you are doing an amazing job! I'll always be grateful for every video you put out
@trainrailfan671 I appreciate that.
Krásná trať, jakoby se člověk valil korytem vyschlého potoka nebo jel po tobogánu. Líbilo se mi i přehození výhybky ve stanici v tunelu po chvíli, co projel vlak a zároveň se objevila zelená na smaforu.

Thanks for the walk.

@ekoheriyanto70 True.
Your best one yet in my opinion. Thank You. What a stunning Country.
@garryteahan6375 Glad you enjoyed it. Countryside really is different...vulcanic...
Beautiful.
@SvalbardSleeperDistrict Thank you!
Fantastic! Wanted to ride around Etna but didn't have enough time back then. Would be even better to do it on a historic Littorina railcar.
@vicbystrov Oh, great! Now you will be able to see a part of it from the drivers perspective.
Grazie.

@YogieAnanda-sw1is I am glad.
nice video.
@vinodkumarverma6683 Thanks!
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 🖖
@wandajackson3410 Thank you very much for your comment. I am not sure about the abandoned buildings, but I guess they are former railway buildings..and the white colour, someone answered that before, it is to prevent overheating.
❤❤❤ Хотелось бы увидеть больше видео из Сицилии .
@user-dh6lw4my1z Hopefully in the future I can do more of them.
красота)))😊
@Stas1661 Thanks.
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.
@carddamom188 thanks.
Thank you once again! Will the Randazzo - Riposto section also come later?
@wyqtor Not for now. I hope in the future I can get to film it. It is a beautiful line with great views on the Mount Etna.
Splendido scenario
@cordialifetecchie So true. It is a very nice line.
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.
@michael-tu4ey Thank you, I apologise for that. I did got confused.
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. 🙂
@matteoalessandronimaravall5852 I apologise for that mistake.
nice vide
@garygeorge-xw6vj Thanks for the visit.
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 😁
@PalermoTrainspotting Scuzi. Thank you for this, I got it wrong, sorry.
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.)
@Fan652w You are welcome. I would say that in the summer there are a lot of passengers around there.
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.
@APD1967 Gracias por la recomendación. Saludos.
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
@jeannoelrenaudin2 Merci. Thank you very much for your compliments. Sometimes it is not easy to do miracles ...but I will definitely put this line on my to do line. Have a nice day!

Why is the tracks white???
От теплавого расширения . Практика красить рельсы в белый цвет есть в Италии с 1980 годов .
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.
(I decided to separate facts and opions) I totally disagree the project, metro have sense in an urban area because they have a high frequencty and a lot of stops. In a contest like the one of circumetnea it has totally no sense, you need a suburban service. Another thing I don't understand is the need of building again an infrastructure that already exist, I beleive is a waste of public resources.
treni e linea da terzo mondo🥲
13:20, hope that kitty is alright…
A proposito di vulcani…..sarebbe bello vedere la circumvesuviana ,anche lei a scartamento ridotto
