8623 Viaduc de Sénouard

During the afternoon of Monday 15th September 2008, Multiservices liveried 8623, passes over the viaduc de Sénouard near the Lozère department town of Marvejols, hauling 4 Corail coaches forming 15941, 12:40 Clermont-Ferrand to Béziers. As the journey down to the Mediterranean continues along the valley of the River Tarn, the train will pass beneath the impressive Millau Bridge, the tallest structure in France, with the highest mast reaching an impressive 343 metres. 8623, an Alsthom product, dates from the 11th March 1974, and would have taken over from a BB 67400 at Neussargues. Electrified at 1500 volts, the wires are suspended from the wonderful, ancient hooped P O Midi catenary dating from 1930.
