Mk2 Jet Train (RTG) running on a "Turbotrain" from Strasburg to Lyon Perrache, seen passing Bollwiller. At that time, EL signalling restricted speed to 140km/h on Strasburg-Mulhouse, although the very first TGV PSE sets would run at 260-300km/h on trials there... Bollwiller. September 1980.

Mk2 Jet Train (RTG) on private rails: "Turbotrain" service (probably the 1573/2) from Strasburg to Lyon Perrache, seen leaving the Strasburg-Mulhouse main line, entering the private network of MDPA (Potash Mines). This diversion was due to the reconstruction of a bridge on the main line between Bollwiller and Richwiller. Bollwiller. Winter 1978/1979.
