The body of trailer 1 was, together with the small body which was used for CE 250, made in 1909 by A Constructora without having received a firm order. After some discussion the CCFP acquired both bodies, used the large one for trailer 1 and ordered from A Constructora six more bodies of this type together with type 23D bogies from Brill. The trailers 2-7 came into service in 1911\/12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These trailers spent all of their lives working on line 1 between Infante and Le\u00e7a da Palmeira, at first towed by 4-wheel cars, later behind the bogie cars. Their original open platforms were given windscreens around 1948. When line 1 was cut back from Le\u00e7a to Matosinhos in 1960, these trailers went out of service except for some beach services during the Summer season in the first half of the 1960’s. They were all officially withdrawn from the fleet in 1966. No.1 is part of the museum collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
