19/03/2023: Open day at La Spezia Migliarina DORS (Deposito Officina Rotabili Storici - Depot and repair shop for Historical rolling stocks), managed by Fondazione FS. Fondazione FS Italiane looks after and manages the Italian State Railways vast historic heritage: it oversees a fleet of over 400 pieces of historic rolling stock, around 200 of which are in full working order. It also oversees the archives and libraries, both the Pietrarsa and the Trieste Campo Marzio Museums as well as some dedicated Depots (like La Spezia Migliarina DORS). La Spezia Migliarina DORS is mainly devoted to Electric Locomotives. FS (Ferrovie dello Stato - Italian State Railways, now Trenitalia) classic Bo-Bo-Bo Electric loco with articulated body E.636-002 in classic "Castan e Isabella" color scheme. The E.636 was the first Italian locomotive adopting the Bo-Bo-Bo configuration with chassis divided into two articulated parts pivoting on the central bogie, which is very well suited for the often tortuous lines of Italy and that would have been later repeated on the E.645/646 and E.656 classes. The 636-002 was the second machine in the class built, before the WWII. Photo by Guido Allieri (guido@allieri.com)
