Heritage train in Ovada, Italy
The trail of smoke is due to an old heritage train towed by Italian steam locomotive FS Class 740 coming out of the tunnel. The historic Italian FS Class 740 is ‘Consolidation’ steam locomotives manufactured from 1911.

Indeed. As kids the 'manhood' test was standing on a a railway overpass - on the outside of the guardrail - as a steam locomotive ran beneath. I retrospect my proudest accomplishment was that I didn't wet my pants while standing there as the train passed.
