You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Rete Sicula''' (Sicilian Network) referred to all the railway lines in operation and under construction in [[Sicily]] which, following the 1885 Conventions, was assigned to the [[Società per le strade ferrate della Sicilia]] for operation.

==History==
The company, formed with mainly foreign capital by a banking group based in [[Rome]], took the place of the previous companies that ran the island railway lines including the failed [[Victor Emmanuel Railway|Vittorio Emanuele Company]], which at the time of taking over had not yet completed the construction programme expected. In 1885 the Sicula Network covered a total of 597 km. The network was gradually integrated with the sections from Palermo to [[Catania]] and, in 1895, those between [[Messina]] and [[Fiumetorto]] of the Palermo - Messina line. At the end of 1896 it had reached 1,093 km. In March 1896 the Sicula Network owned 156 steam locomotives, 456 coaches, 90 baggage cars and 2019 goods wagons.<ref>((cite web|title= Ferrovie della Sicilia |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9RQ0uRUDMS4C&pg=PA344|work= Monitore delle strade ferrate e degli interessi materiali 1897/05/29| year=1897 |access-date=5 May 2022))</ref> The network was [[nationalized]] and incorporated into the [[Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane]] in 1905.

==Locomotives==
The network was equipped with its own Office for the design of rolling stock. This designed the excellent [[FS Class 910]] locomotive. From 1901 to 1905 the engineer Riccardo Bianchi was the general manager of the company operating the Sicula Network.

==Ferries==
The Sicula Network was connected to the [[Strait of Messina]], in November 1893, with the obligation to make two daily ferry trips between [[Messina]] and [[Reggio Calabria]]. In addition, two daily ferry trips to [[Villa San Giovanni]] were established at the time of completion of the Southern Tyrrhenian Railways.

==Other railways==
Some lines were not part of the Rete Sicula. These included the [[Palermo]] - [[Marsala]] - [[Trapani]] line (operated from 5 June 1881 by the [[Società della Ferrovia Sicula Occidentale]]), the [[Ferrovia Circumetnea]] and the [[Palermo]] – [[Corleone]] railway.
