The prototype: FS telescopic hood wagon

The Ferrovie dello Stato, the Italian state railroad company, increasingly relied on the use of telescopic hood cars in Era IV (approx. 1970-1990). These special freight wagons were designed for the transportation of weather-sensitive materials such as steel products. Their characteristic telescopic hood enables easy loading and unloading as well as optimum protection of the load against environmental influences.

Era IV: Progress and diversification

Era IV was characterized by technical innovations and a diversification of rail freight transport. Many new types of wagon were introduced during this period in order to meet the increasing demands of the industry. The FS telescopic hood wagons are a typical example of this development and reflect the progress in freight transportation.
