FS Class ALn 772
open-in-new
<p>The ALn 772 (<i>Automotrice Leggera a nafta</i>, Light Diesel motor car) series are a group of <a href="/facts/Diesel_railcar/8WCtLGNc">Diesel railcars</a> built for the <a href="/facts/Italy/tUf0PDYF">Italian</a> public railway company <a href="/facts/Ferrovie_dello_Stato/USuzwVEE">Ferrovie dello Stato</a> (FS) between the 1930s and the 1950s. As the first project in Italy to abandon the automobile-derived design and adopt a comprehensive "rolling stock" approach, it represents the link between the simple and sturdy <i>Littorine</i> and the modern Diesel units. </p>
