Elipsos_misc_1.jpg (27106 bytes)

Trenhotel 406 "Francisco de Goya", seen upon arrival from Madrid-Chamartin. This is the route panel of a Talgo 6 car delivered at the 90s. LCD as from day one, yet somehow outdated as to: _naming (top): The "Paris-Madrid talgo" was renamed "Francisco de Goya" on 02/06/1991; _labelling (bottom): International sleeper Talgos lost their Eurocity label on 31/05/1992; _branding (bottom): the "Talgo" logo is against RENFE's policy in force since 2001, i.e. no allusion whatsoever to rolling-stock suppliers. Paris-Austerlitz. 7th July 2004. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr).

Joan-Miro_PB_1.jpg (49320 bytes)

Trenhotel Elipsos 477/6 "Joan Miró" (Paris Austerlitz-->Barcelona Sants, via Limoges), seen emerging out of the gauge-changer to the station of Portbou. At this stage, this formation was being banked by a French locomotive. Unlike daytime services, banking extends until the trainshed of Portbou (South end), as sleepers are distinctly longer than daytime Talgo formations (300-420m instead of 120-180m). On that day, this service was delayed by 40min. At 6:25am, there was hardly any daylight, humidity rate was in excess of 75% and temperature already in the region of 32°C. This was due to dense coastal fog, acting as a greenhouse... Portbou (Spanish sector). 25th July 2005. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr)

EN 273 "Pau Casals" from Barcelona after arrival at its destination. The Talgo set "6C5" (what does that code stand for?) consists of generator car TG6-612005, two first class sleeping cars TWL6g-603019 and 603038, two two-bed sleeping cars TWL6d-623006 and 623006, restaurant car TR6-610034, cafeteria/kitchen car TC6-606009, two four-bed sleeping cars TWL6u-604020, two "superreclinable" sleeperette cars TA6L-631001 and 631004 and another generator car TG6z-611009. Only the generator car at the rear end of the consist is running. As the sleeping cars have only a door on one side and the cafeteria and restaurant cars no doors at all, the 12-car consist has only five doors on each side. Zürich, 2005-12-09 tobias b köhler
