Mont Cenis (train)

The RGP-825 was replaced by the Italian ALn 442-448 diesel multiple units on 29 May 1960,[3] so the entire southern part of the TEE network was operated by Ferrovie dello Stato.

This replacement wasn't an improvement at all because the ALn 442-448 trains could hardly cope, as seen before on the Brenner route (TEE Mediolanum), with the slopes in mountainous aerea's, and the average speed dropped from 85 km/h to 75 km/h.

[7] On 28 mei 1978 the rolling stock was replaced by locomotive hauled trains consisting of French Corail and Italian Eurofima coaches.

[9] Three of them, Mont Cenis, Alexandre Dumas and Manzoni ran as far east as Milan; the other two, Fréjus and Monginevro served only the Turin - Lyon section.

The Alexander Dumas and Manzoni were TGVs linking Milan and Paris, the other three were operated with FS Class ETR 460 tilting trains.
