19/03/2023: Open day at La Spezia Migliarina 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 La Spezia Migliarina DORS). La Spezia Migliarina DORS is mainly devoted to Electric Locomotives. FS (Ferrovie dello Stato - Italian State Railways, now Trenitalia) classic Bo-Bo-Bo Electric loco with articulated body E.636-065 in classic "Castan e Isabella" color scheme. The E.636 was the first Italian locomotive adopting the Bo-Bo-Bo configuration with chassis divided into two articulated parts pivoting on the central bogie, which is very well suited for the often tortuous lines of Italy and that would have been later repeated on the E.645/646 and E.656 classes.

La Spezia Migliarina DORS is mainly devoted to Electric Locomotives. FS classic Electric loco E.645-023. The FS E.645 and E.646 are two classes of similar electric locomotives used on Italian railways. They were introduced during the 1950s and they were retired in 2009. The E.646 and E.645 locomotives project was started in 1953, with a new model engine that was to be installed on the modified chassis of the already-existing six-axle locomotive E.636. The first prototypes were delivered in October 1958. The first thirty-seven individual locomotives differed only in their livery: twenty built for passenger traffic were painted in grey-green, while seventeen built for goods were painted in "Castano e Isabella" auburn colors. Later, the freight locomotives were reclassed E.645. The total number of locomotives built amounted to 295 units. Initially, the class E.646 was assigned to fast and heavy passenger trains while the class E.645 was assigned to heavy cargo trains, though it occasionally pulled also passenger trains. With the availability of newer locomotive types the E.646 were replaced for fast passenger trains by E.444 and later by E.656 in long range passenger trains. Eventually most of the class E.646 was converted to FS Trenitalia push-pull services, while the remaining others were converted in E.645 and assigned to goods services until 2009. Unit 645-023 was one of the first series with the front cab of the same style of the preious E.636 series.

19/03/2023: Open day at La Spezia Migliarina 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 La Spezia Migliarina DORS). La Spezia Migliarina DORS is mainly devoted to Electric Locomotives. FS classic Electric loco E.646-004. The FS E.645 and E.646 are two classes of similar electric locomotives used on Italian railways. They were introduced during the 1950s and they were retired in 2009. The E.646 and E.645 locomotives project was started in 1953, with a new model engine that was to be installed on the modified chassis of the already-existing six-axle locomotive E.636. The first prototypes were delivered in October 1958. The first thirty-seven individual locomotives differed only in their livery: twenty built for passenger traffic were painted in grey-green, while seventeen built for goods were painted in "Castano e Isabella" auburn colors. Later, the freight locomotives were reclassed E.645. The total number of locomotives built amounted to 295 units. Initially, the class E.646 was assigned to fast and heavy passenger trains while the class E.645 was assigned to heavy cargo trains, though it occasionally pulled also passenger trains. With the availability of newer locomotive types the E.646 were replaced for fast passenger trains by E.444 and later by E.656 in long range passenger trains. Eventually most of the class E.646 was converted to FS Trenitalia push-pull services, while the remaining others were converted in E.645 and assigned to goods services until 2009. Unit 646-004 was one of the first series with the front cab of the same style of the preious E.636 series. This machine was later converted to E.645-104 for freight service. When retred, it has been restored in the original and beautiful E.646-004 "grigio nebbia - verde magnolia" livery.

The Class 625 was the superheated and simple-expansion version of the pre-existing mixed traffic Class 600 design. Following the success of the Class 640 (itself a superheated and simple-expansion version of the older Class 630 engines) previous designs were altered accordingly, and 108 of the class were built by various companies in Italy between 1910 and 1914, with a further 80 constructed between 1922 and 1923.
