Exposed as a monument at the station is the Monte Velino (number 8) locomotive. This was one of the ten used by Alessandro Torlonia to transport beet from Fucino to the sugarbeet factory. The engine was placed on a specially-made track in front of Villa Torlonia on the occasion of the celebrations related to the centenary of the 1915 earthquake. This locomotive is considered one of the symbols of post-earthquake Avezzano.
