Closed in 2011, the railway Sulmona - Carpinone "fight to survive and be born again."
The President of TransIta, Ing, Francesco Tufano about the prospect of being able to "take off" again this railroad, says there is a good chance.
RFI (Italian Railway Network) can not assume the full burden of managing the entire section, there are 58 galleries, more than hundred bridges and viaducts, problems and difficulties due to snow at the track which pose considerable problems. With the Region of Abruzzo, Molise to the RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana) and the association TransIta (Onlus) is trying to avoid the closure of this wonderful railway. They want that the transport plan, expect some tourist trains and commercial connections to be allocated to the countries located between Isernia and Sulmona.
With the Services Agreement with RFI seems to escaped the danger to shut the line, Abruzzo and Molise must undertake to cooperate economically. Instead of the coach should put the trains, confirmed some members of TransIta, since 2006 the Ministry of Transport has allocated to regions local transport, unfortunately continues Ing. Francesco Tufano, the Regions have used these funds for other purposes. The Region of Molise, in 2011 pays nothing to FS (Ferrovie dello Stato), because issues related to the health service and so, in short, with tourism they want facilitate the rail transport and then the State Railways (FS).
Trains, up to now, have been carried out by TransIta were five, with 550 participants for the first travel, while 250 adherents were, to each of the successive excursions.
Molise Discovery has been involved in the organization on board and out of the train " incoming."
The "Alberi Sonori" of Termoli attended with a nominal charge, vitalizing the participants' travel on the train, having as a tourist interest the launch of Molise. There are many volunteers who work free to the success of these initiatives
They want to lower the cost of train and create jobs.

On an openness to foreign, and an invitation to visit this historic railway, the President of TransIta, ing. Francesco Tufano, shows that as the founder of the Associazione Europea Ferrovieri (European Railway Workers Association) who recently made 50 years after its birth, there is the aim of uniting the peoples of Europe, spreading the culture of the train that aggregates and does not divide, even in Europe.
On the competition of the Swiss Railways, explains that the comparison is not possible.
The Sulmona, Carpinone, Isernia, through an unique area with two parks: the National Park of the Gran Sasso and National Park of Maiella. Also runs along the Natural Reserve of Monte di Mezzo, which is part of the UNESCO project called MAB (Man and Biosphere) with an area of about 291 hectares, an area rich in primeval beech.
Twenty trains bring school children to visit this pristine reserve, so you will avoid the pollution emitted by gases from coaches.
Transita with its 2000 voluntary members and six councilors, together with the Associations: The Rotaie Molise with his tireless secretary Sergio De Spirito, the tour operator Molise Discovery of Antonella Zullo and Barak Lev, the folk group Alberi sonori, are the basic pillars for the revival of the railway Sulmona - Carpinone Isernia, they represent the Italy that want be born again, who wants to live and move on.
