I am in Italy and noticed the rails are painted white.  It caught my eye as a train enthusiast.

I found this story that says railroads in Europe are painting the rails white because of the hot weather.  Not sure if that's the reason here in Italy.

The rails could also be VERY new and have yet to get a surface rust...

No, they are painted white.
