Retired railway personnel and train enthusiasts are the men and the women who make up those affiliated associations which help make the amazing journeys through time on our historic trains run smoothly.
These associations were already established before the founding of the FS Foundation in 2013. They have been actively collaborating on our initiatives since 2014 and bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience accumulated over many years.
They carry out the routine maintenance and the cleaning of the historic engines and carriages, making sure they are in pristine condition for the many organized trips. They also help out with passenger assistance during the events and often provide anecdotes and little known facts about the train of the day.
The numerous associations that cooperate with us can be found in the table below, listed in order from North to South and the islands.
