The sixth volume in this series looks at high-speed trains, an essential part of the great history of French railways. Today, the TGV symbolizes both modernity and tradition, the fruit of an adventure that began over fifty years ago.
This book retraces the history of the orange trains, the postal TGVs, the CC 72000 service to Sables-d'Olonne, and the many ephemeral liveries. Detailed tables show the complex evolution of the different series. Private operators operating in France, such as Trenitalia and the future Le Train, are also described.
Thierry Leleu designed the drawings and texts for this work, with the help of José Banaudo, Georges Turpin, and the expertise of Didier Delattre, a driver who has operated all types of TGV. This volume is a complete reference for enthusiasts of trains, model railways and French railway heritage.
300 photos and 130 drawings.
