=== Railways === [[File:FS ATR 365 003 (Cagliari).jpg|thumb|ATR 365 owned by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia in Cagliari]] [[File:FCS 400 auf dem Viadukt bei Belvi-Aritzo.JPG|thumb|left|Tourist railway between [[Aritzo]] and [[Belvì]]]] The Sardinian railway system was developed starting from the 19th century by the Welsh engineer [[Benjamin Piercy]]. Today there are two different railway operators: * [[Trenitalia]] which connects the most populated towns and the main ports. This network is the most modern on the island, running primarily diesel locomotives such as the [[Alstom|''Alstom Minuetto'']] and, from 2015 the faster [[tilting train]] [[Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles|CAF ATR365 and ATR 465]], specifically designed for the Sardinian railway network;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.caf.es/en/productos-servicios/proyectos/proyecto-detalle.php?p=221|title=Regional Train Sardinia}}</ref> * [[ARST (company)|ARST]]: the trains run on [[narrow gauge railways|narrow-gauge]] track, are generally slow, due to the tortuosity of the lines, except for the electrified [[tram-trains]] operating in the metropolitan areas of [[Sassari Tram-train|Sassari]] and [[Cagliari Metro-tramway|Cagliari]]. The ''[[Trenino Verde]]'' (''Little Green Train'') is a [[tourist railway|railway tourism]] service operated by ARST. Vintage [[railcar]]s and [[steam locomotive]]s run through the wildest parts of the island. They allow the traveller to have scenic views impossible to see from the main roads.
