Two classics of 20th century French 🇫🇷 industrial design: the #Chambéry roundhouse from 1906 and the #SNCF #CC6558 electric, built in 1971 and re-liveried into its original #Maurienne-green paint scheme in view of its preservation as museum stock.

#SNCF 🇫🇷 #CC6500 electrics used to haul the most prestigious trains from Paris to Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux, among others. They finished their careers on local services around Lyon. Pictured here is #CC6558
