As of today, Narrow Gauge extends 5.182 km on the Roma-Pantano reconstructed outer section, to 17.8 km full length.
Gauge is 950 mm over faces, or 1 metre at rail centres.
Electrification 1500Vdc.
Most recent EMUs are clones of Manchester's Metrolink.
Albeit by 2010, or hopefully later, the special concrete-rods sleepers will be stretched to standard gauge on this section, to become part of Met.Ro. Line C (driverless).
