CAMPSA PRfhv 54.045 Tanker

Tank railcar with license plate PRfv52045 was part of a project developed by CAMPSA in 1957 to build 500 tank wagons with an average capacity of 22,500 liters, which would achieve a significant improvement in distribution. These wagons incorporated a vacuum brake with an S. A. B. brake lever regulator, which allowed for the formation of pure trains, with an consequent increase in transport efficiency.
It provided service until the early 1980s when it was transformed into a tow car with a winch at the Campsa facilities in Tarragona. It stopped providing service around the late 1980s and remained at the CLH plant.
In 2016, CLH donated it to the Railway Museum in Mora la Nova, and after preparation work to move the vehicle from the CLH plant in Tarragona, it was removed and transported by road to the Museum's headquarters where it was restored during 2017 and 2018.
