[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 377932, member: 10543"] Thanks -- a great capsule history. I had a book as a kid (Great Trains Of All Time, c. 1962) that featured a story on the SNCF speed records set in 1955 between Bordeaux and Dax in southeastern France, topping out at the speed you mentioned, equivalent to 206 MPH! The chapter reads that the CC7100 Class locomotive was one typical of its class and was hauling three cars. Have you ever seen the movie The Train (1964)? Set in WW-II France, it's an extraordinary film that I've watched far too many times. :) [/QUOTE]
