Trainz 2022 DLC - Ferrovia Appennino Centrale 1899

The Ferrovia Appennino Centrale, or Central Apennine Railway, was a narrow gauge railway in Italy. The entire route as it existed in 1899 has been carefully reconstructed in Trainz using custom made assets ONLY (vegetation and textures being the only exceptions).

The railway connected Arezzo, a city in Tuscany on the Florence to Rome railway, to Fossato di Vico, a village in Umbria on the Rome to Ancona railway. The "trenino" crossed beautiful mountains and valleys and called at medieval cities like Anghiari and Sansepolcro in Tuscany, and Città di Castello, Umbertide and Gubbio in Umbria. It was constructed in 1886 and was of great importance to the development of the region. It got heavily damaged during the Second World War and was, with the exception of the section between Umbertide and Sansepolcro, never rebuilt.
