I now know more about Italian trains than is healthy...
I believe the train where our little people are risking their necks is this train, that according to the website http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix_frameset.html is used on the Domodossola - Milan run.
Looks like it to me anyways.
apskip:
I have investigated EuroStar, InterCity and Eurocity trains and the equipment used on them is much more modern than what we appear to see in the train screencap. I do agree with GMan and others that it is likely to be an Italian train. I don't know how international trains originating in Switzerland are handled, but since this run originates in Domodossola Italy, it is entirely appropriate to have Italian trains used.
Slowhatch:
Domodossola is a bit of a puzzle. Nijjy writes that they were on the Milan-Spiez run (the Cisalpino, perhaps) when teams got on at Domodossola. Since the rail lines at Domodossola form a simple T-junction, that means either: there were tasks in the local area; or they were transferring from the FART. The trouble with the latter is that the FART is slow thing, taking nearly two hours to make the short trip from Locarno; it's more of a scenic/tourist RR than an actual transport alternative. The routing engines I've tried, when asked to create a route from Locarno to Interlaken, all use the Bellinzona-Lucerne-Interlaken route.
Also: if you want to ride the FART (Locarno-Domodossola in about a minute), it's here, but there's nothing that matches the Munoz rail cap. Since the Cisalpino uses silver/gray, that's where my chips will go for now.

The helmets on the middle-aged man and woman look like Soviet era cosmonaut headgear. However, the only training facility I can find in russia is the cosmonaut training program in Star City, a suburb of Russia. I doubt that AR14 went there.
