901-910 Saloon Caixotes

These double-ended bogie cars built in 1947-1948 using Maley & Taunton equal wheel bogies. The bodies were a “stretched” version of 736-745. They had the same type equipment as 801-805. They were mainly used on line 15. As they couldn’t be modified for one-man operation because of their entrances were too narrow for the required driver operated doors, they were withdrawn until 1989. 904 is kept for Carris museum.
