Our railcars

For this trip, our association will use 2 of its railcars: the red and white X2204 and the blue and white X4903/4.

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.

X4900

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.

We remind you that this train is maintained and cleaned by a team of volunteers, please do not cause any damage.
