The fifth volume in the series focuses on electric self-propelled railcars. These machines offer a number of advantages: they're light and fast, despite having less installed power than a large traction unit, and they save energy and manpower by reducing the number of maneuvers required.
These advantages gradually won over all railway administrations, leading to the gradual disappearance of hauled trains for passenger transport in Western Europe.
Illustrated and detailed, this volume reveals the evolution, characteristics and variants of electric railcars, offering enthusiasts of SNCF, modern trains and railway heritage a comprehensive and rewarding study.
