A FS class E632 pushing a shuttle to Bologna at Ferrara in 1989. At that time it was frequent to handle the rises of passenger demand caused by shows and trade fairs in Bologna adding some cars to the regular trains, rather than running specials. Since the service between Venezia and Bologna was (and still is) fulfilled by locked-consist shuttles, the old coaches of the Fifties used for this duty had to be added to the rear end of the train, as seen in the picture.
