- How fast do the Trenitalia Class E464 Locomotives accelerate? Here we sample a journey between Brindisi and Lecce aboard a 'regional; train. The consist is composed of 4 carriages - carrozze vicinali piano ribassato - propelled by a 72 ton Bombardier E464 locomotive of 4700Hp. The carriages weight approx 42 tons each plus passengers. So with a total consist weight of 240 tons, that equates to a massive 19.6 hp/ton, or twice as much accelerative power as a UK HST.
The start from Trepuzzi allows unimpeded acceleration to 140km/h.
The final few kilometres see speed limits grade;lay reduce - with 30km/h appearing to be the limit into the station.
On this particular run, the train is held up at a red signal for a short while awaiting the departure of a service departing Lecce going northbound.
