[edit] Removed specific car discussion

I deleted the following item (had been categorized under trivia) but am highlighting it here as it may be worth incorporating into a different article or section in a different article:

The unit ALn 772.3240 was refitted in 1948 as a dome car; the raised lounge with a glass roof in its central part earned it the nickname Belvedere. The official designation was also changed to ALTn 444.3001 (short for Automotrice Leggera con Terrazzino a nafta, light Diesel motor car with terrace). The paint scheme was green-red-yellow, superseded later by a white-light blue livery.
The Belvedere was used on a special week-end fast service between Milan and Sanremo, leaving Milan on Friday evening and going back on Sunday night. It was intended for working people from the city, who needed to reach their wives who were spending the Summer on the seaside.
The weird shape of the car and its fast speed, along with some cunning jokes about the supposed lack of faithfulness of said wives, led to the informal nickname of Cervo Volante (Flying Deer). The fear of growing "horns" may well have led some of the husbands to avoid this particular train, which was finally closed in 1958. The Belvedere was then brought back to its original status, re-designated ALn 772.3424 in 1965, and scrapped in 1984.

This is not a trivia... it is the story of the most famous unit of this group. Can you incorporate this in the text? my english would need some work on--Jollyroger 18:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
