Farewell to RTG Jet Trains? Within a few months, this sight might be history... Cafeteria/Second-class car (TRBru) of a RTG Jet Train of SNCF, seen at Lyon-Perrache, awaiting departure to Bordeaux-St Jean on Train 4580. This train (together with the inbound service from Bordeaux) is the only one where RTGs are still diagrammed. One can notice the poor condition of the carbody. Very little has been done in this matter since the introduction of those trains in 1973-74... 31st December 2003 P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr).
