It was a day to say the least "wacky" and full of confusion that Sunday, January 20, 2019 for the Adriatic Line Bologna - Ancona, due to the disengagement of war residuals near the train station Anconetana, which called, from 09: 00 to 19:00, the suspension of the railway circulation between Falconara and Varano.
Regional and Regional Veloci trains were canceled between Falconara and Ancona and between Ancona and Varano, while all long-distance trains (InterCity and Frecciabianca) were limited to Falconara, Loreto, Civitanova and Pescara; in fact, the Ancona station was declared unfit and closed to the public.
As for the races of the "High Speed ​​- Frecciarossa" links, some have been canceled, in addition, to provide the mobility of travelers between Falconara and Varano \ Loreto have been made available replacement buses that, due to the simultaneous suspension of road traffic , they will not stop in Ancona.
This "BOMBA-DAY" calvary began exactly on October 17, 2018, with the discovery of the bomb dating back to World War II (a British model plane bomb 'MkIGB' weighing 250 pounds containing 31 kg of explosive) in the Archi area, during the dismantling excavations of the former Ancona Marittima station.
The forces of 'order, with the help of experts, have immediately devised an evacuation plan within a radius of 800 meters from the point of discovery, (the so-called "RED ZONE") thus forcing 12,000 residents to abandon their homes on the pre-established date .
During the "hole" of 10 hours the bomb was defused thanks to the intervention of the Italian army regio genii railways, with the "remote technique", which consists (through the use of appropriate equipment) to first remove the two systems of trigger and then cut the bomb with salt and water, allowing it to be taken later.
Finally, the device was made to shine inside the Colabeton quarry, in the province of Jesi, around 15:00 on the same Sunday.
If this event was the scene of hardships and concerns for the residents of Ancona (to whom I express my solidarity)
for me it was a great opportunity to witness an almost unrepeatable railway show, on the other hand, when it will happen again to be able to see the Intercity (other than those from Rome) or better still, DEI FRECCIABIANCA STOP AT THE SMALL FALCONARA MARITTIMA? .. That said, I leave you to the video .. GOOD VISION!
