Seen at the “French section” of #Basel🇨🇭SBB earlier this week: an #SNCF 🇫🇷 #TER 200 kph regional service for #Strasbourg, hauled by a Class 26000 #Sybic electric. The train is composed of 1970s #Corail cars. The 1st class seating in particular looks, and is, extremely comfortable.

Picture taken in August 2006 at Port-la-Nouvelle 🇫🇷: an #SNCF class #BB26000 #Sybic electric is working a southbound daytime express composed of 13 #Corail carriages. The very scenic railway line is meandering here between shallow “Étangs” and the Mediterranean.
