Luca reviewed it thusly:
A book that begins with a jump back in time, very detailed and well structured. It 'a journey that the author makes us do not on board any train, but a vehicle that made history, both outside and inside the screen. And it does so in a complete and detailed way, making us forget from the first pages our daily routine. Brava.

Giorgio also praises it highly:
 A book that comes from the passion for trains, art and cinema. It goes beyond simple history, analyzing the train from various points of view, sometimes surprising. An imaginary journey in time and space certainly to be undertaken.
