Boy are you right. I didn't think anyone would recognize the type of train.
Photo taken in Perigueux, France 2004 at the SNCF open house. They overhaul the train cars there to a like new condition every 20 years and repair all the damaged cars. I went with a friend that had worked all his life there from 1944 on. The Germans had control of it for about a year. You can see a small slide show of the operation he http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...ch&plinde x=0 Have a great day. |

In '67-'68, I think I rode most every train in Europe, and especially French ones. It's a whole different train-world over there (and other parts of the world) compared to North America! > Have a great day. And you as well, sir!

I haven't been on an American train since 1955 and that was when I was
inducted into the Army. I also rode in an army C-47 (DC3) in 1955 to another base. I have been on a lot of French trains though. I just bought tickets for next April from Paris to Perigueux on the TGV. Have a great day. |
