Gerri,
Thank you. I clicked on the link and trying to book. Seems like its a third party agency to book. I have emailed them my details to book. Have any of you taken this train? Any experience?

BTW, if you haven't found it, this looks to be the June 2nd itinerary for the train:

I believe 6/2 is the only date you'll be in the area when the train is operating? This is also Festa della Repubblica, a national holiday in Italy,
