This is about a low-sided wagon built by Nicaise and Delcuve (Belgium) in 1881 with the numbering G-522 for the Aranjuez to Cuenca Railway company. It was part of the wagon series G 509 to 588, a company that would be absorbed by MZA, where it would maintain its numbering. In those days, these small flatcars were used for all types of cargo, and they ran in compositions where the old freight wagons had no braking system. The locomotive was the only one that had one.
In 1940, when RENFE was established, only eight of the original seventy-nine wagons remained, many having been lost during the Civil War. Due to its age and characteristics, in the mid-1950s, it was retired and abandoned at the La Meta flour mill in Lleida. Discovered by a Lleida-based organization with the intention of preserving it, it was transferred to the Móra la Nova Railway Museum in 2021.
In 2022, it underwent a comprehensive operational restoration that included the construction of elements that were missing. Currently, it is the oldest surviving railway carriage in Catalonia.
