Another electro-mechanical frame in Italy: Macerata, 1990

Deutsche Version dieses Postings

I took only one photograph of the frame at Macerata:

The following two enlargements show a few more details. The levers on the frame are pretty self-explanatory, with the exception of the rightmost one, which should probably be yellow—controlling the distant signal on the Civitanova side; and the light-grey one in the middle, which probably controlled the points visible on the track plan above the starting signal towards Civitanova. The track occupance was shown in the old way, with non-occupied tracks being lighted, and occupied tracks, as well as tracks without track circuits, shown dark—see also the frame at Ciampino:

Outside, I took two more photos of the ubiquitous Fiat rail cars used on those secondary lines:

On our way back to Foligno, I took a last picture of a locomotive, probably at Fabriano:
