FSF - Ferrovia Suzzara-Ferrara (now part of FER - Ferrovie Emilia-Romagna) withdrawn motorcar M52 at Migliarino on November 30th, 2003. Built by Ganz (Hungary) in the 1930s as a passenger dmu for no-longer-existing Massalombarda-Imola-Fontanelice railroad, it was bought by FSF in the 1960s, rebuilt to a power unit without seats and destined to the hauling of the road's light freights. I believe it to have been retired in the 1980s. The day I took this picture I found there were some blankets, a pillow and many empty bottles inside the car, so evidently somebody lives in it.
