SNCF_Z-6002_1.jpg (85256 bytes)

50Hz-AC prototype EMU (Z-9053) of SNCF.

Actually a former ET-25 EMU of Deutsche Reichbahn, seized in 1945, and rebuilt to 20kV-50Hz, for the experimental 50Hz-AC electrification of Aix les Bains-Annecy.

Later upgraded to 25kV, renumbered Z-6002, and withdrawn in 1970.

Another ex-DR ET-25 experienced the same fate, first as Z-9052, then Z-6001.

Annecy.

11th September 1960.

Later upgraded to 25kV, renumbered Z-6004, and withdrawn in 1972.
