#FS 🇮🇹 #Ale601 units were built, in the 1960s and 1970s, for #Rapido services. The Class included power cars and trailers, some with kitchen/bar, and all of them equipped with driver’s cabs on both ends for maximum flexibility. They ended their career on local duties, as seen here at #Ancona in late 2004.
