One of the 243 former United States Army Transportation Corps S160 2-8-0s that were taken into Italian State Railway stock after World War II takes water at Civitavecchia station with an 'express' from Rome to Pisa. This loco was built by Baldwin in 1942 and shipped to the UK where it saw service before being sent to France after D-Day in June 1944 and finally moved to Italy as the war progressed.
