Met dit plaatje ben ik zelf best blij. Toegegeven, zeker niet de beste foto van een CC 72000 in mijn collectie, maar wel de enige waar de sleep achter deze imposante diesels in zijn geheel bestaat uit Corail rijtuigen in de oorspronkelijke wit-grijze kleurstelling.
Een paar jaar later kwam ik weer in Frankrijk, o.a. langs lijn 4, maar toen waren vele Corail rijtuigen al in de Corail+ kleurstelling gespoten en trof je nog maar een enkel rijtuig aan in de oude kleuren. Zeker geen hele trein meer...
Maar zoals op deze foto; zo wil ik ze ook in model kunnen laten rijden. De rijtuigen heb ik reeds in mijn bezit...nu de CC 72000 nog een keer!
Deze CC 72071 was overigens van depot Nevers. Enkele diensten in de Alpen brachten de loks van Nevers best redelijk ver van huis. Ze zal de Corail trein overigens naar Grenoble brengen.

The rigging on the longship used to hoist the spar with the sail and to help keep the mast in place.
66546 deputising (annoyingly!) for the usual class 90s passes through Chelmsford station with 4L91 0208 Trafford Park F.L.T. to Felixstowe Creek R.S. vice the normal North Terminal following a quite serious derailment at the entrance to North Terminal the previous week. The old long closed (and listed?) Chelmsford signal box sits above the station canopy looking in quite an unkempt state.

Bridgepixing Mississippi River bridges at Memphis, Tennessee:
Looking East - 1) On, the left, the Harahan Bridge carrying the Union Pacific Railroad; 2) In the center, the Frisco Bridge carrying Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF); and 3) On the right, the Memphis-Arkansas Memorial Bridge carrying Interstate I-55.
1) The Harahan Bridge is a cantilever bridge carrying two rail lines across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. The bridge also carried motor vehicles from 1917-1949, when the Memphis-Arkansas Memorial Bridge opened. The bridge is currently owned by Union Pacific Railroad.
2) The Frisco Bridge, previously known as the Memphis Bridge, is a cantilever bridge carrying a rail line across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. At the time of the Memphis bridge construction, it was a significant technological challenge and is considered to be chief engineer George S. Morison's crowning achievement. No other bridges had ever been attempted on the Lower Mississippi River. Besides the difficulty of crossing this far south, Morison was required to provide at least 75 feet clearance, have a main span of more than 770 ft for the main river channel. He was also required to provide for vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the same level as the rail traffic. Construction for the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad began in 1888 and was completed May 12, 1892. In the end the project created a bridge that was the farthest south on the Mississippi River, featured the longest span in the United States and cost nearly 3 million dollars. A testament to its design and construction, as of 2006 the bridge is still used by BNSF Railway. The bridge is listed as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
3) The Memphis-Arkansas Memorial Bridge is a cantilever bridge carrying Interstate 55 across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. Memphians refer to this bridge as the "Old Bridge" to distinguish it from the "New Bridge", or Hernando de Soto Bridge, upstream.
