Retired

When Euskotren was founded in 1982, it inherited the rolling stock FEVE had been using in the Basque Country until then. However, most of FEVE's rolling stock had previously been operated by different private companies, notably Ferrocarriles Vascongados and FTS. Rolling stock acquired during the FEVE years and since the creation of Euskotren is listed under the section newly built and inherited from FEVE. Rolling stock built for Ferrocarriles Vascongados and FTS before 1972 is listed under different sections.

Inherited from Ferrocarriles Vascongados
