Take a look at this unassuming giant. This is the Locomotiva FNM 200-02, a testament to Italy’s rich railway history. Built in 1883 by the Belgian company Couillet, the Locomotiva FNM 200-02 once chugged along the Ferrovie Nord Milano lines. It’s a steam locomotive, a type that revolutionized transportation in its time. This Locomotiva FNM 200-02, specifically marked as unit 02, is actually its twin, the original unit 04. While it might seem like just a relic of the past, it represents the ingenuity and progress of its era. Today, it stands as a monument in Saronno. You can find it on the traffic circle near the highway tollbooth, a silent guardian of a bygone age. While its steam engine no longer roars, its legacy lives on, a testament to a time when these iron horses connected communities and fueled progress.
