Our railcars
X2204
The X2204 is a railcar built in 1985. After starting its career in Limoges, it was transferred in the early 2000s to Nice to ensure the Nice - Tende - Limone connections, in Italy. Radiated from the affectives in 2015, he joined the park of the association shortly after.
X4903/4
From its official name "self-propelled diesel unit", the X4903/4 is part of the latest version of the large "Caravelle" family, well known for their red and cream livery. Built in 1975, it began its career in Marseille, on the Cévennes line: Marseille - Nîmes - Clermont-Ferrand. All the X4900s were brought together in Rouen in the 1990s. The X4903/4 was deregistered in 2015 and joined the fleet in 2018 where it was repainted in a livery as close as possible to the original one.< br /> We remind you that this train is maintained and cleaned by a team of volunteers, please do not cause any damage.
X1501/2
The X1501/2 railcar is an SNCF prototype. Consisting of the diesel engines of 2 ETG (gas turbine elements), it studies from 1993 the tracking of train location by on-board radars (Astrée). Modified in 2001, it becomes a rolling laboratory for the European rail traffic management system (ERTMS). He joined the association's park at the end of 2018.
For your safety
On board the train
Under no circumstances attempt to open the doors without having been invited to do so by the volunteers and wait for the train to come to a complete standstill before descending during the planned stops at the station. Don't throw anything out of the train and avoid poking your head out of the windows, our routes are often full of vegetation... and the branches are not always tender!
In SNCF premises
We travel on the national rail network, owned by the SNCF. At the station, stay on the platforms and do not venture into areas where access is prohibited, this behavior is punishable by a fine and imprisonment. Do not attempt to cross the tracks outside of the planned passages and stay away from the edge of the platform, our train is not alone on the rails.
