August 1985, while on an #InterRail tour: my first ever photo of an #SNCF 🇫🇷 #CC6500 - and my first trip on a train worked by one of these six-axle classics: from #Chambery with the #Lyon to #Milan #MontCenis. Behind the CC6552 two #FS 1st class compartment cars, followed by #SNCF #Corail 2nd class coaches.

My favourite #SNCF 🇫🇷 loco: the #CC6500 DC electrics with their #NezCassés design. At the end of their career they worked “super peak” weekend services to the ski resorts in the French Alps, like the train on my photo taken in the early 2000s at #Lyon Part-Dieu.

An #SNCF 🇫🇷 class #CC6500 electric and its rake of #USI and #Corail coaches is awaiting departure at #Lyon #Perrache station. Picture taken in the early 2000s when these powerful (and beautiful) locos ended their career working regional services. #NezCassés
