New EMU "AMG" (for "Autorail voie Métrique de Grand confort") ordered in 2003 by the Corsican Railways (CFC) from CFD-Bagnères. These will be delivered in 2006/2007, primarily for Superfast services on Bastia-Ajaccio, with 8-9 daily services planned (02:30, with 3 stops), instead of the current 4 daily services (03:30 in average). They will also run on Bastia-Calvi (-20 min). With 880kW (for just 80t), they will form the highest-powered metre-gauge, DMU fleet in the world. These sets will feature air-conditioning and panoramic saloons. Photo and Artist view by Luc Beaumadier (Acknowledgements). Posting and comment by P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr).
