mugello steam engine train(Tuscany)

There are only occasional runs, I do not remember seeing any announced for this year. Try searches with terms "Faentina" and "vapore" (no meaningful results at present time).
On the Faentina line, such trains are mostly run in Autumn to match local festivals. There was a steam charter train a couple of weeks ago that made the news as it slowed commuter service.

The line was opened again (after many decades of closure) in 1999. The historical steam train however operates only in special occasions and I couldn't find a schedule either. Last month it made the news in Florence since it caused a bunch of delays to the regular trains on that line. It was a special run organized by a British tour company which took tourists from Rimini to Florence. Several runs of the steam train are organized in October for the Chestnut festival at Marradi (which is famous for chestnuts).
However, even if the steam train is not available when you are there, commuter trains operate along the line. Besides Marradi, along the way you could stop in Scarperia (one of the most beautiful Tuscan villages) and also Borgo San Lorenzo. The line goes all the way to Faenza and is just as beautiful aboard a more modern train as it is aboard the steam train. You can check trenitalia for schedules of the trains. Avoid traveling toward Florence in the early morning (or away from Florence in the evenings) as the trains are full with commuters.

Thanks for the responses.

Roberto,
Is this the same line that terminates at Aulla?

Roberto, just saw that those places Scarperia,etc are on the line from Florence to Bologna. I will be going that way from Lucca to spend 4 days in Bologna.
Interesting you mention Faenza , I plan to take the train to Brisighella as a day trip from Bologna.
Some interesting walks in Brisighella.
Should I start a new thread re Brisighella? I have some questions the area.

The Faentina Railroad line (FIRENZE - BORGO SAN LORENZO - MARRADI - FAENZA) is not the same as the LUCCA - AULLA reailroad line. They are two totally different, equally scenic and historic, but they are in totally different parts of Tuscany.

Brisighella is on the Faentina Railroad and it is the station before Faenza, which is the final station of that historic railroad (Faentina means "from Faenza").

Trains traveling along the Faentina railroad are commuter trains which stop at most, if not all stations. Occasionally they have the historic steam trains for tourists. You can also reach both Faenza and Brisighella, by going around and using the faster newer line, i.e. from FIRENZE to BOLOGNA on the high speed line, then once in Bologna, you can take the train that goes toward Rimini-Ancona and stop in Faenza along the way. It's a longer loop that way, but in terms of time it's probably faster because the train from Firenze to Bologna is a Freccia traveling at 300 Km/h (180 mph). But if you are not in a hurry, and want to enjoy the views, the old Faentina railroad is probably more enjoyable (and cheaper). The high speed line is all under a mountain tunnel for 50 miles so you don't see anything.

I took the Faentina Railroad the last time with my mother when I was probably 7 year old. We took that railroad twice to go back and forth from Florence to a beach house on the Adriatic. It took us all day to get to destination with changes in Borgo San Lorenzo, Faenza, Lugo, Ravenna, then by bus to Lido di Spina. And I remember that the train to Faenza was a steam train. I still remember I was wearing shorts and when we arrived my legs were black with charcoal dust from the engine. I have no idea why we didn't go through Bologna using normal electric trains. But at least I can say I went to Lugo, the birthplace of Charles Ponzi (of the Ponzi Scheme).

Steam trains in Italy are managed by Fondazione FS, a foundation taking care of heritage rolling stock of Ferrovie dello Stato (the national railroad company).

Here is the website, with calendar and list of activities:

Tuscany is the region when the most of steam powered trains run, being the main locomotive maintenance facility located in Pistoia.
