Mediolanum (train)

The word Mediolanum has been used to name three distinct international express trains that have run to and from Milano Centrale in Milan, Italy since 1957.

It linked München Hbf in Munich, Germany, with Milano Centrale, via the Brenner railway.

Originally, it used FS diesel multiple-unit (DMU) trainsets of class ALn 442–448 [it].

In 1969, these were replaced by German (DB) diesel multiple units,[3] of class VT 11.5.

In 1972, the train returned to using Italian FS cars, but now electric locomotive-hauled instead of multiple-unit trainsets, with different locomotives over different portions of the route.
