Cosenza About 1960 But I knew his name.
I also knew of its uniqueness, its importance at the time of its first steps, his ability to move their minds, the lives of people, before its small wheels, 950mm apart.
Since 1936, far and distant 1936 when he saw the light and lit for the first time the engines. To date, 23 April 2010, another trip. Another trip, after a stop of 41 years. For 41 years the reserve remained in Catanzaro Lido, perhaps hoping that someone noticed her and send him to face some steep slope there, which resides on the rack few miles to the west. He could not, but maybe I would have liked.
June 3, 2009
now the brambles had kidnapped and jealously guarded, away from the looks of irresponsible leaders ready to drive the wrecking balls. It took four guys at first, then go ahead with a "constant" of three, to return the light to shine on quell'ammaccata, and so despised body.
was June 3, 2009, I remember like it was yesterday. An entire summer fled to a succession of FCL Catanzaro Lido station, until he was finally able to break down the last bush, with Roberto and especially with the wooden board. That axis of wood, the little star of the revival of M1.37.
Fotoricordo the complete liberation 
The wooden plank, another star of the recovery
November 29, then the wheels back in the rhythm which has been used for years and years.
Slowly, slowly. The Emmina to walk back, finishing the siding where he stayed for five months, suffered five months with the fear to find it vandalized overnight.
No, none of this. E 'come to today, April 24, 2010, as had been.
November 29, 2009 Of course, the fall calendar and several pending pieces specially detached and put in it, but it arrived whole, resisting even a fall yesterday. He does not want to give up, if cacchiarola refuses to give up!
Arrive at 8.25, far from seeing the outline of the roof. I thought I still find it on the piece of track built in the parking lot, but it was already on the truck stop.
8.30 am, the trailer is already on Emmina The fear of having arrived "just in time" became quite strong. Fortunately, the expected "Cosenza". Roberto, who had missed the train from Locri, has it really done for the skin of our teeth. Meanwhile, there appeared the truck from Cosenza for the rails, even with the capodeposito Massarini other person to whom one can not dedicate a high esteem for his work and the way he does.
last moments, after which the Emmina goes away. Last moments to breathe the air of Catanzaro, the last moments to really involve the small railcar to the context of small station terminal. That now seems so empty ..
Bye to all and goes ..
last look before leaving .. At this track plan is based on some lake, the TCC, where he probably will return Sparkling. Has not been forgotten, this is the most important thing.
Also because he was curious to see people leaving for Catanzaro City crowd to the windows to photograph our Emmina, almost as if you suddenly realize how unique is this medium. I feel responsible for this thing, responsible and proud. Proud of this little half, recovered from nowhere, now so important, we can say, famous. Happiness for the knowledge that we were able to save her, at least in part. As we set June 3 as we continue to believe and how we still believe. I think it's a sentiment shared by Robert and Francisco, the other two proponents of this enterprise.
M1.37 The return to walk with their own means. I believe this, I am confident. It 's a titanic feat, but basically means we are accustomed to the titanic undertakings here in Calabria.
One thing is certain: come back.
