Located right in front of the entrance to the former Classe sugar refinery, it includes, in addition to the Opessi weighbridge on 1899 rails, the old siding with the station and a small brick building for the weighing of wagons. in and out of the plant.

The area had been in a state of neglect since 1982, when the sugar factory was closed.

The story begins in 1899 with the construction of the sugar factory which, in operation from 1900 to 1982, started the sugar campaign. In the fields we begin to cultivate beetroot and the railway connection is immediately built ".

The Archeology and Culture Class Association took charge of the museum building of the area through a series of interventions aimed at the recovery and arrangement of all the elements related to the railway connection.

First of all, the wooden sleepers were replaced and the embankment and track was rearranged and leveled, then the obsolete railway weighing system was restored. At the same time, the association acquired the old steam locomotive, donated by the Marini family, and started a complex conservative restoration at the Pancar mechanical workshop in Osteria (Ravenna).

The locomotive was operational for many years at the Eridania sugar factory in S. Biagio di Argenta, where it moved railway wagons with the nearby station through a siding.

With the closure of the sugar factory, which took place in 1966, the industrial service activity also ceased for the old locomotive.
