Country Connection

Rescanned at higher resolution with better colour and image quality

 

A sight almost vanished from railways in the UK - the mainline, long distance, loco hauled express restarts from the rural country junction station while the connecting service for the branchline waits for the alighting passengers to board before departure

BB-67400s 67562 and 67548 are at the head of train 5958 Le Cévenol, from Marseille to Paris, while X4630 class Caravelle units X4646 and X8435 wait to depart Saint-Georges-d'Aurac-Gare for Le Puy-en-Velay and Saint-Étienne

The locos are in Multiservice livery. Not quite as classic as the original blue Arzens scheme, but WAY better than the awful En Voyage colours and graphics inflicted on numerous classes in recent years

I had seen the same two locomotives working in multiple the previous evening working south from Clermont Ferrand to Nimes on train 75567
