Fs Class E330

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The FS Class E330 was a small class of three-phase electric locomotive used in Italy, introduced in the 1910s. In the late 1900s, the success of the three-phase electrification on mountains lines such the Valtellina line, the Simplon Tunnel and the Giovi Pass line, led the newly formed Ferrovie dello Stato, under the direction of Riccardo Bianchi to extend the electrification to other lines, where electric locomotives granted better performances. For the new lines to be electrified, three batches of electric locomotives were ordered, including the E330 and the E550.
