Vagó woven socks FMGP L45

It is part of a series of 2 wagons (L.43 - 44) manufactured by the company's workshops in Monistrol Vila with the aim of being able to transport high-speed goods, as these normally traveled inside some compartments of passenger coaches, which caused disturbances due to the smell and liquids they emitted, which deteriorated their structure. Authorized to circulate on June 13, 1956, they provided very little service on the Montserrat rack railway and once it was closed, they were transferred to Nuria where they have provided service coupled to passenger trains, despite not being equipped with air brakes.

After the company's property was transferred to the Generalitat de Catalunya, the L 43 and L 44 wagons barely saw service in 1984 and were set aside, with one being used as a workshop wagon at Ribes Vila.

Renumbered as wagon L-45, it was restored in Mora la Nova in 2025 and is currently on display at Monistrol Vila station.
