video of March 17, 1993. In the distant year of 1993, I travel in the cabin of the L 901 (Tibb Tecnomasio Italiano Brown Boveri e Officine Meccaniche della Stanga Padova, year 1938) of the FCV (Ferrovia Casalecchio Vignola), starting from the Casalecchio di Reno station, the stretch of line parallel to the Porrettana railway and then crossing the Porrettana track bundle itself, up to the junction with the FCV Depot. I visit this Depot which is a true railway museum. The E 626.128. The SV Società Veneta steam locomotive no. 321, a steam locomotive which is a true page of history on the Veneta lines. Piaggio corrugated stainless steel electric locomotive, the M 5. The Sogliola Badoni L 911, Breuer type 1941, born with a Fiat engine powered ... by methane! The former APT L 24, L 912. From the now defunct Mantua-Peschiera railway, the small central-cab diesel ex D 11, numbered L 25, then L 913. The Bologna model TRAM (from a STEFER depot in Rome) no. 218. The one that made the last run of the Bologna city trams. A second L 902, Stanga-Tibb from 1938. The red E 400, box locomotive built by Savigliano in 1928 (for the Aosta Pré S. Didier, which was born electric!). Chasing by car the wonderful L 901 that had left in the meantime, I climb back up into the spartan cabin. The ride ends at Crespellano station, where the 901 performs beautiful maneuvers. A flatbed loaded with pipes is unloaded ... by gravity from a road trolley. Still in the cabin, we return from Crespellano to Casalecchio di Reno, passing the ... remains of the small stations, all in rationalist style on the line, of Chiesa Nuova, Ponte Ronca, Lavino, Riale, Ceretolo. See you next time!
