In sosta nella stazione di Napoli Campi Flegrei dopo un ciclo di prove sul passante ferroviario di Napoli.
E' stata la prima volta in cui l'ho fotografato!
Archimede, il treno diagnostico di RFI, effettuava l'INVIO15437 da Torino Porta Nuova a Modena, con la E402B 101 in spinta, a bassa velocità, probabilmente a causa delle misurazioni in corso.
Archimede, the Diagnostic Train for infrastructure of RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, the Italian railway administrator ), was running from Torino Porta Nuova to Modena with the push of the locomotive E402B.101. The speed was low, probably for the measurement works in progress.
Avvisato da Francesco (NewEuroStar483 su Youtube) del transito dell'Archimede di RFI, abbiamo deciso di trovarci a Santhià. Non essendo io contento della stazione, ho cercato ieri sera un posto in linea nelle vicinanze, e ne è uscito questo simpatico posto a poche centinaia di metri dalla stazione.
In coda, la E402.142 di RFI, impegnata nella spinta delle 5 vetture del convoglio da Venezia Santa Lucia a Torino Porta nuova.

Le Redoutable submarine, 'Cité de la Mer', Cherbourg: leaving the atomic reactor compartment, we moved along into the nuclear missile storage/launch compartment. Each of the 16 ballistic missiles was housed in seperate cubicles. Each cubicle had it's own dedicated launch/control counter. Beside each counter were these brass voice trumpets for giving/hearing commands. Strange mixture of old-fashioned ship communication hardware allied to fearsome ballistic Armageddon

Per la prima volta riesco a fotografare l'Archimede.....beccato in maniera casuale mentre tornavo a casa una sera di queste in quel di Pisa.....macchina di scorta nello zaino , panchina di pietra come cavalletto e foto al volo tra una coincidenza e l'altra....
Ieri (16/02/2010) è andato a Genova Brignole, ed eccolo oggi che ritorna a Roma Tiburtina. Trovare un E656 invece della E402B.101 è stato deludente...
Yesterday (16/02/2010) it went to Genova Brignole, and today he went back to Roma Tiburtina. Instead of its E402B.101, it was hauled by an E656, a real letdown...
mattinata purtroppo indimenticabile, con l'ondata di sfortuna che mi ha investito questa è l'unica foto decente lato pilota uscita, e pensare che avevo in mente ben altro per questo treno sigh ;(
The salt flats consist of multiple, shallow, stepped, clay-bottom pools that originate from partitioned off seawater. The shallow pools, with added sunshine, heat, and wind, allow for evaporation of the water resulting in an increase in its salinity. Once the saline level of the water reaches a certain amount, it gets pumped with the Archimede's screw to a higher and shallower pool. Historically, windmills produced the energy to drive the pump, now the pumps have electric motors. Over time, the water gradually progresses through multiple pools.
The salt is harvested annually, in early fall, before the rainy season starts. In Trapani, they still harvest the salt manually both by skimming the surface and scooping it out with buckets. The very fine salt crystals first skimmed off of the surface of the water in July are most valuable and are called fiore di sale. The salt crystals that are manually scooped from the bottom of the pools, later in the season, are composed of larger, coarser crystals. Those are either sold as coarse salt or can be ground down to a finer composition. Historically, windmills were also used to grind the salt.
After it is harvested, the salt is piled alongside the pools to allow for drying. Due to manual harvesting of the salt, as opposed to excavator harvesting, the crystals stay clean and don't need to be further processed or purified. During drying, the salt mounds are covered with terracotta tiles to keep them clean and protect them from rain. The salt is then packaged for sale according to fine and coarse distributions. Any salt that gets dirty is sold as street salt for winter road management.
This configuration of a series of shallow evaporation pools, still in use today, was introduced by the Arabs between the C6th and C9th AD, whereas the Phoenicians first produced salt along Sicily's coast either by boiling seawater trapped in the island's many marshes or by waiting for water to evaporate from solely ONE pool. The Museo del Sale in Trapani is a family-owned and managed salt flat which has been producing salt for many generations. The salt pans, there, date from the 1400s.
