Living in countryside, the only railway station I have here is a Circumvesuviana one.
Circumvesuviana (literal translation: "around the Vesuvius [railway]") uses narrow gauge tracks (950mm) because of the variety of the terrain and small radius curves requirements.
96 stations in 144 total kilometers serve more than 2 million people (Naples alone is 1.2 millions). Morning trains start at 6:20am, latest trains depart at 9:30pm.
The longest run (Napoli-Sorrento, some 44 kilometers) requires 56 to 66 minutes.
Trains run on 1500 Vcc nominal (actually around 1800). Engines require up to 300 amps in full acceleration. More than half of the 87 trains currently in use have been built between 1976 and 1978, and since then only got light modifications (mostly safety standard updates). Their top speed is limited to 90 km/hr.
