06/05/2023: Open day at Pistoia 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 Pistoia DORS). Automotor Aln 772-3265 recovered at Pistoia, inside the main building. The Aln 772 (Automotrice leggera a nafta - Light diesel motor car) series was built for the FS, Italian Railways, between the 30s and the 50s in not less than 327 pieces. The last was retired during 1981. Preserved Aln 772-3265 is still used for historical trains. Photo by Guido Allieri (guido@allieri.com)
