Un Amico
In questa storia che vi voglio raccontare
Vi parlo di un Amico, che non viene dal mare
Lui quando parla non ha peli sulla lingua
E quando scatta foto sembra proprio che dipinga.
Il primo pianto, in Via Marcello Federici
Vicino a casa mia e a quella di tanti altri amici
Io costruivo frecce, archi e cerbottane
Con le piastrelle lui giocava, o con le figurine.
Come tutti i bambini di Campo Parignano
Correva al forno, il forno di Piuccio
Comprava il pane, il pane quello buono.
Poi giocava a nascondino, proprio dietro la Chiesa
E a pallone, lì alla GIL, era forte in difesa.
E lì nessuno si faceva male
E mai nessuno finiva all'Ospedale.
S'intrufolava in Palestra, per guardare i suoi fratelli
Che saltavano leggeri tra parallele ed anelli
Erano Angeli senza ali, ma riuscivano a volare
E lui faceva capriole, felice, come al mare.
Si arrampicava a perdifiato, su alla Montagnola
Con la merenda ancora in tasca, appena uscito dalla scuola
E le farfalle gialle e nere, scappavano volando
Quando sentivano o vedevano che lui stava arrivando.
Come tutti i bambini di Campo Parignano
Con un capello, da grande esploratore
Andava al fiume e con la fionda in mano
Catturava lucertole, ranocchie e girini
Spaventava i passerotti, col fucile a piombini.
Ma mai nessuno si faceva male
E mai nessuno finiva all'Ospedale.
All'improvviso, un bel mattino, si è risvegliato grande
Le Elementari, dopo il ponte, alla Malaspina
Le Scuole Medie alla D'Azeglio e poi alle Industriali
Ora il ragazzo è quasi pronto per battere le ali.
E poi l'Amore lo sorprende, quasi come una scossa
Forse per colpa del gran caldo o della terra rossa
Ora con Anna, la sua storia diventa ancor più bella
Una casa, una famiglia ed è Lei la sua Stella.
Ma come a tutti i bambini di Campo Parignano
Gli è rimasta quella luce negli occhi
E quella voglia di correre lontano.
Con quelle foto che lui posta su Facebook
Cambia le idee pure a chi non ce le ha più.
Così nessuno si farà più male
E mai nessuno finirà più in Ospedale.

Union Pacific ALCO 4-8-4 Northern FEF-3 class steam locomotive # 8444, is seen while stopped on the main line with a rail fan excursion train after a photo-run-by in Colorado, July 26, 1980. An old style search light block signal # 759 is just ahead of the locomotive and it provides a location for the railroad.
Union Pacific ALCO 4-8-4 Northern FEF-3 class steam locomotive # 8444, is seen at the station with a rail fan excursion train in Sterling, Colorado, July 26, 1980 - 3. In this seen you can see the domed observation lounge on the 12 car train. Train crew members on top of the tender are replenishing water, while other crew members standing next to the drivers are performing the lubrication tasks. In the background you can see the water tower with the city name Sterling, Colorado applied on the side of the tank. Shortly the train will move ahead to another location where it will be turned for the return trip back to Denver,

Union Pacific FEF-3 class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 8444, is seen leading a rail fan excursion train along the main line on a photo run-by in Colorado, July 26, 1980. Most of the herd of rail fans and photographers was located about seven hundred feet further back from my position. A better position would be at the rear end of the train prior to any other people being in the scene for a clean capture.
In October and November 2011 FEF-3 4-8-4 No 844 made a marathon tour of the West, ostensibly to celebrate the entry of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. The itinerary was as follows, Cheyenne, Denver, Trinidad, Dalhart, El Paso, Tucson Yuma, San Bernardino, Salt Lake City, and Cheyenne. On the afternoon prior to departure for Denver, UP’s last built Northern stands outside the former diesel shop where it resides alongside ‘Challenger” 4-6-6-4 No 3985.

On the Big Boy's journey west and east, the steam team added two flags to the pilot of the Big Boy, Old Glory and the state flags of Utah and Wyoming, depending upon the day's journey. Since the Big Boy was traveling east through Utah on this fine morning, Ed Dickens and a member of the steam team affix the Utah State Flag to the pilot.

Union Pacific 4-8-4 FEF-3 class ALCO Northern steam locomotive # 8444 is being prepared to depart in the early morning sunlight with its railfan excursion train at Union Station Denver, Colorado, summer 1980. The railfans and photographer are located by every dutch door opening and at the baggage car door areas to observe or to capture the action on film. In this view you can see how the steam locomotive and tender tower over the lightweight passenger cars.
Seems rare to come across these in Diesel form now, this one looked really well cared for and incidentally I saw it parked up yesterday whilst in North West London, good to see it's still being used, I imagine it has a while left.
Union Pacific FEF-3 class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 8444, is leading a rail fan excursion train on photo run-by with the herd looking on in Colorado, July 26, 1980. The train would shortly blast by my location, but I directly got into the clear after this photo was taken. The smoke was so thick that you could almost walk on it. Notice the interesting meter of sorts that's attached to the block signal.

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired over those years.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.
Comments are welcome.

Standing in an open yard in Hartlepool in the mid 1970's are a pair of Hartlepool Leylands. JEF 709 and FEF 375 are both Leyland PD/2s with Roe bodywork and are H37/28R. Keeping them company is an L reg Ford Transit and on the road an immaculate 1968 Ford Anglia de-luxe.

Union Pacific 4-8-4 FEF-3 class ALCO Northern steam locomotive # 8444 with the full 12 car railfan excursion train seen while stopped at the station shortly after arriving with numerous passengers and observers seen at Sterling Colorado, summer 1980. These UP railfan excursion trips usually attracted large groups of passengers and observers, as in this situation. Water is now being supplied to the tender with the use of fire department hose and later the train will be turned for its return trip back to Denver, Colorado.
Union Pacific FEF-3 class ALCO 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 8444, view of cab and engineer along with crew members, seen while stopped after a photo run-by in Colorado, July 26, 1980. There are numerous on-lookers in this scene, with a few quite young where it may make an impression. Notice the tall ladder required to reach the gangway platform level.
Union Pacific 4-8-4 FEF-3 class ALCO Northern steam locomotive # 8444 displays a cylinder, drivers, pilot wheels, cross-head, valve gear & main rod while stopped on a railfan excursion trip in Colorado, summer 1980. At the start of the trip all of the parts were very clean put with some running time and dirty along the route everything becomes dirty. The mechanical parts by their nature must be well lubricated and this extra oil and grease attracts dirt.
Union Pacific 4-8-4 FEF-3 class ALCO Northern steam locomotive # 8444 is being prepared to depart in the early morning sunlight with its railfan excursion train at Union Station Denver, Colorado, summer 1980. These large modern oil burning locomotives could be controlled where they produced little smoke most of the time.
