Frecciarossa 1000

Rare card · No. 48923

The Frecciarossa 1000 (also known as ETR 1000) is a high-speed train operated by Trenitalia in Italy and by Iryo in Spain. It was developed by a joint venture of Bombardier Transportation (now part of Alstom) and AnsaldoBreda (now Hitachi Rail Italy). With a design speed of up to 400 km/h (250 mph), it is among the fastest trains in commercial production in Europe, although operation in Italy is limited to 300 km/h (186 mph) due to infrastructure constraints.
