Pm/Po-Type 1930 wagon
The Pm/Po-Type wagons were built in the years following 1930 by Ferrovie dello Stato, using chassis from wagons of the Rete Mediterranea (RM) and the Rete Adriatica (RA). They were mainly used for transporting boulders, and marble in particular. However, as open wagons, they were also suitable for transporting timber. The Pm/Po series included wagons with variable wheelbase, featuring three or four tipping sides per side. The chassis was metal, with wooden beams forming the load-bearing surface. The end boards were fixed. A braking system was never fitted; however, in the late 1940s, a through-pipe for the pneumatic brake was added to some wagons. The traction system was of the continuous welded-rod type.
Originally, the marking was Pm, with reinforcing beams on the floor. Around the 1940s, the latter was removed and the marking changed to Po.
