On the great stage of Milano Smistamento, “Rotabili Storici” takes the stage. The show in two acts is the result of the determination of the newly formed “Associazione Rotabili Storici Milano Smistamento” and the host, FS. Both, in October 2008, wanted to repeat the 2006 event. Smistamento is one of the first locomotive depots in Milan, linked to the large freight station built in 1933, which, on this occasion, turns 75. Act One is dedicated to the day before the event: behind closed doors, the 83 volunteers of the security service - of which we were part with the entire editorial staff - have carefully prepared every detail. Act Two, the chronicle of a fantastic Two Days in the Smistamento theatre. The chiaroscuro symbol of this event, an E.645.090 shiny as never before, restored to its former glory by the Smistamento painters. But the undisputed star is her, the E.444.001, finally on display for the many enthusiasts who had never seen it before today.
