Two long rows of withdrawn cars waiting for the torch at Occhiobello in February 1987.
<br>Passing the time this picture has become a historic document, because it shows various types of passenger and freight cars totally gone from FS tracks since many years.
<br>From left to right, we can see two old flat cars (one of them with brakesman booth), an old wood reefer, a short-pitch open car, a 1st class coach series 19-08 or 19-18 (former Bz 21000) and a 2nd class coach series 20-48 (former Cz 33000, the so-called "1946 type", built in 1947-1950 with the money of the Marshall Plan). On the track behind we can see - partially hidden - some 2nd class coaches series B 36000 "Centoporte" (former Cz 36000).
<br>All these cars, freight and passengers, were pre-WWII, except the former Cz 33000.
