Cremona 14 November 2021. Telegraphic summary: arrival in Brescia at the windows (it's raining, damn it) of ALe 582, fluttering curtains. At the station in Brescia between Rock Caravaggio and Trappulelle ALn 668 (like the 668 series 1000, Fiat Savigliano year 1978) at platform 16 and 3/4. I take R 10519 (40 minutes late at treNOrd ...) for Cremona, at the windows of MD carriages. At San Zeno Folzano a 245 with connecting rods. The entire line with ... fluttering curtains. At Olmeneta we reach the historic Milan-Cremona steam train for the Torrone Festival with the GR 640 143, stopped at the station for a crossing. The 640 leaves for Cremona, we follow it at a block distance. In Cremona I admire the 1911 Breda steamer 640 142 and the beautiful carriages: Bz 32153 type 1937 brown Isabella, Corbellini second class Bz 38040 with bogies, Corbellini third class 2-axle CL 35549, Corbellini third class 2-axle CL 35638, Corbellini third class 2-axle CL 35490, Corbellini third class 2-axle CL 35653, 2-axle baggage car Di 92031. Tigrone E 652 passes with a long container freight. ETR 103 Pop Alstom named Donizetti and ALe 582. I visit the Depot (short inserts of trips with my friend Simo to 'Zena': in the A2 FGC cabin, in the Casaralta cabin on the Giovi Railway and Morandi bridge). The beautiful turntable diameter 18.5 meters with D 445 1080 of third series, Omeca from 1986, on the bridge. In the trappulelle yard ALn 668, ATR Stadler, D 744 Cz Loko. Freight trains pass. Then to DLF, to Mexicali for a bite. I return to the station, where I shunt a pair of trappulelle: ALn 668 3139 + ALn 668 3214 which then leave, unusual and unexpected 'diesel' train on electrified line, for Mantua as R 10007 at 14.15 ... with me on board, of course. End of first part. To be continued, on board the trappulelle.
