The 2 Chords of La Praille, looking towards Genève Cornavin and Bellegarde.
<p>
• Right: La Praille-Est, single track to/from Genève-Cornavin (15kV 16.7Hz AC), for Swiss Freighters and Regional services;
<br>
• Left: La Praille-Ouest, single-track to/from France (1.5kV DC), for French Freighters.
<p>
Both tracks run in parrallel until La Jonction, accross the Rhône, and diverge afterwards.
<p>
Under the CEVA project, the left-hand track is to become convertible (1.5kV DC or 15kV-16.7Hz AC) on La Jonction-La Praille, so as to accommodate Annemasse-bound CEVA services.
<br>
As a result, trains will run on the right throughout this new cross-border link.
