Lokomotywy elektryczne - Francja: książki - historia i modele

La saga des nez casses (Tome 2) - Les séries des BBB et CC

Książka ta przedstawia historię lokomotyw elektrycznych CC 6500, które w latach 70. były dumą SNCF. Wyprodukowano 74 egzemplarze, które obsługiwały prestiżowe pociągi, takie jak TEE Mistral, Capitole i Aquitaine, a także ciężkie składy towarowe na stromych trasach La Maurienne.
Następnie przyjrzymy się ich słoweńskim odpowiednikom, lokomotywom SZ 363 "Brižita", marokańskim E900 oraz 94 jednostkom BBB 8000 w Korei Południowej. Omówimy również eleganckie CC 21000, które prowadziły TEE Cisalpin między Paryżem a Vallorbe, oraz CC 21003, tymczasowo używaną przez Amtrak jako X996.
Dalej analizujemy CC 40100, pierwsze lokomotywy "Nez Cassé", które obsługiwały międzynarodowe połączenia między Francją, Belgią, Holandią i Niemcami.
Silne lokomotywy spalinowo-elektryczne CC 72000, znane z prowadzenia TEE Jules Verne i Arbalète, również są opisane, wraz z ich zmodernizowaną wersją, CC 72100. Na koniec badamy historię portugalskich lokomotyw serii 1900 i 1930, z których część została wysłana do Argentyny na początku lat 2000.

La saga des nez cassés (Tome 1) - Les séries des BB

The "broken nose" family, made up of more than a thousand locomotives delivered between the mid-1960s and the end of the 1990s, occupies an emblematic place in French railway history.
Initiated by designer Paul Arzens, this series of locomotives, recognizable by their inverted windshields and the distinctive "Z" shape of their broken noses, left its mark on the railway landscape of the last century.

This work, divided into two volumes, traces the epic of the BB type series of broken noses. The first volume explores the adventures of the BB 7003 10003 10004 20011 and 20012 prototypes, playing a crucial role in the development of new railway series.
The BB 7200s, numbering 240, then enjoyed flourishing careers on the Atlantic and South East networks, while the queens of the East, the BB 15000s and the BB 22200s marked the 70s.

The book provides a detailed overview of each series, presenting their liveries, depots, owners and special features. Maps highlight the lines each series travelled.
Series such as the 1600 and 1700 enjoyed international success, operating in the Netherlands and attracting various private operators. Exploring destinations such as Morocco, Brazil and Portugal, the book provides a comprehensive view of the varied heritage of these locomotives, from their conception to their current use.

1955 - Un record d'avance

Where will we stop? 243, 331, 515 km/h: so many records broken by the train. In less than forty years, the SNCF has begun the reconquest of lines on which the plane seemed to have secured absolute and incontestable primacy.
Without the CC 7121, a brave pioneer launched at full speed between Dijon and Beaune in 1954, the TGV would not exist. By pursuing its "record advance" policy, the French national company demonstrates, fifty years later, that rail is still participating in the current state of transport.
