Vagón del Chasis CGFC HG 630

This flat wagon was originally a 4-axle closed wagon with a small guard's cabin at one end. It was built by S. A. Energie of Marcinelle (Belgium) between 1925 and 1926 and was incorporated into the CGFC's fleet with the number HG-630. The series initially consisted of 35 closed wagons from the HG.611 to 645 series.

In 1979, it came under the dependency of FGC, where, in the 1980s, the maintenance service for fixed installations was assigned.

Later, it was transformed into a flatcar in the Martorell workshops themselves, was renumbered as wagon 60.709, and assigned to the service of the Martorell workshops.

Although it is not preserved in its original boxcar form, its historical interest lies in the fact that it retains the frame structure and bogies (Diamond) practically in their original state. Restored in 2023, it is currently located in the FGC meter-gauge space at Martorell Central.

Restored in 2023, it is currently located at the FGC station in Martorell Central.
