's turbotrain in Houlgate on the Deauville - Dives line.]] The Turbotrain was an early French High-speed Train working on gas turbines. It was born in 1967, for use on France 's SNCF intercity lines. There were several versions, four in total with the last exiting service in 2005 and it is the Turbotrain that made advances possible for the TGV .
The electrification in 1996 of the Paris - Caen - Cherbourg line moved the RTGs onto the Lyon - Bordeaux until 2005 . The RTGs were well loved by the public and it is with regret and nostalgia that the Turbotrain was replaced by Corail trains. One RTG is kept in running condition at the National Railway in Mulhouse . SEE ALSO |
