FSE Double-decker carriages ‘Casaralta’
FSE Double-decker carriages ‘Casaralta’
These coaches were purchased by the FSE in the second half of the 90s, still in MDVC livery. The FSE logo was affixed, and the service began (mainly in the Bari area). The total number of wagons acquired allowed the realization of two convoys with blocked composition, reversible if coupled with the DE 122 or towed if combined with the BB 150-163. The MDVC livery was still visible in 2016, the year in which the new FSE social livery (white, black, red) was applied; Unfortunately, the facts led to the revocation of the ministerial concession of the FSE (big train accident of Andria) and the entire network was absorbed by the FS group.
The arrival of the FS led to the immediate blocking of all the old trains; it is more a matter of a corporate strategy, in which there is a tendency to “standardize” everything and to eliminate dry branches (and vehicles). The Aln 668 series 1000 (registered as Ad 31-45 for fse) are still unaffected because the company has still external maintenance contracts.
The casaralta double-decker coaches have been retired, probably without ever having been in service with the new livery.
