Ferrovie dello Stato SpA
 PROFILE
With about 9,920 miles (16,000 km) of track, Italy's state-owned Ferrovie dello Stato railway provides the backbone of Italy's rail transportation system. The company operates high-speed ETR passenger trains that can travel at more than 190 mph, standard electric locomotives, as well as a large fleet of passenger and freight cars. Ferrovie dello Stato also operates a shipping fleet of 18 ferries and passenger boats. Still heavily unionized, the company is being broken up into four businesses -- passenger rail, freight, regional, and commuter -- to improve efficiency and better compete in the increasingly deregulated European rail markets. It is also forming alliances with other European railways.
