The Italian State Railways (FS) procured a total of 9 ALn 442/448 series diesel multiple units from the Italian manufacturer Breda for high-quality passenger services on diesel routes. Until 1972, they were predominantly used to replace locomotive-hauled TEE trains. Meals and drinks were prepared in a specially fitted on-board galley and, as there was no restaurant area, were served directly to passengers at their seats. After their service as TEE trains, the trains were converted: the kitchen was removed, and seats were fitted in its place, which is why the designation was changed to ALn 448/460. The ALn trains were particularly popular with passengers for their high level of comfort and short journey times (the multiple units could reach speeds of 140 km/h).
