Rome Railway Loop

The Major of Rome and the CEO of RFI (infrastructure management authority) have announced the completion of the Rome Railway Loop by 2010.
The missing link is 10 km long and goes from North West, on the track used for ten days during the World Football Championship of 1990, bridging the Tiber River and linking with the two mainlines to/from Florence in the East.
Also the North and South Tyrrhenian lines will be linked by a Rome avoiding line 32 km long, to allow thru-long distance freight trains.
For an actual map of the Rome area, refer ro bueker.net/trainspotting, then look for railway maps, Rome area.
