Steam Locomotive 740-423, from a Class of 1'D (2-8-0 Consolidation) train locomotives, was performing short runs in and out the turntable at the Depot. The Locomotive was unusally coupled with a tender from locomotive 685-386, creating an hybrid compososition.
FS Class 740 were designed as simple expansion and superheated version of the earlier FS Class 730.
The first locomotive was built in 1911 and construction continued (albeit with a long interruption due to the WWI) until the late 1923. In total 470 machines were buil, making Class 740 the most numerous locomotive to be built for the FS.
