Italian Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) railcar ALe 880 118, formerly part of ETS 11, a private train of Benito Mussolini, stored in Bologna Centrale engine terminal on 10 May 1992.
This electric railcar was built by FIAT in 1940, together with a matching unit eventually lettered ALe 880 117, to form a permanently coupled two-unit train for the personal use of the fascist dictator. Formerly equipped with rationalist-style furnishings, in 1950 it was rebuilt from war damage with standard 3rd class wood seats and put into passenger service. Photo and scan by Jacopo Fioravanti from Railfan Europe.

Were there Bronze Plaques of the Faschi and his profile on it originally?
