Loks und Triebwagen - Frankreich: Bücher - Übersichten

Loks der französischen Staatsbahn SNCF - seit 1938 (Typenkompass)

Nicht zuletzt dank des Hochgeschwindigkeitszuges TGV, der mittlerweile in den Hauptbahnhöfen von Frankfurt, München, Mannheim und Stuttgart ein täglicher Gast ist, erfreuen sich die Fahrzeuge der französischen Staatsbahn "Société nationale des chemins de fer français" (SNCF) bei den deutschen Eisenbahnfreunden eines wachsenden Interesses.
Dieser Typenkompass beschreibt detailliert alle Lokomotiven und Triebwagen der SNCF seit ihrer Gründung am 1. Januar 1938 bis heute.

Jeder Typ wird mit Hilfe eines Fotos, einer historischen Beschreibung und technische Daten dargestellt.

French Traction

With its size, France is home to a huge number of locomotives. The country can basically be split in two, with the northern half running on AC traction, and the southern half on DC traction. A vast number of locomotives are dual-powered, and so can run all over the country.

Locomotives can be found on passenger workings, but are mostly dedicated to freight. Main operator SNCF runs most, if not all, the services within France. The number of locomotive-hauled passenger services is dwindling, but both diesel and electric locomotives can still be found.
The main diesel-hauled passenger workings are in the hands of Class 67 or Class 72 locomotives, while electric-hauled passenger workings are in the hands of Class 17, 22, 25, 26 or Class 27 locomotives. A large number of passenger workings are to be found in the Paris area, with the Class 17 an endangered species.

On the freight side, there are a large number of different traction types in use, from the Class 7200 in the south to vast numbers of Class 26, 27 and 37 electric locomotives, which can be found all over the country. There are quite a few different classes of diesel locomotives running for use on non-electrified lines, including Class 60, 63, 66, 69 and 75.

In French Traction, Andrew Cole explores all this variety and more in a collection of detailed images and captions, which capture many of the thousands of locomotives in France today - from the humble shunter to the modern freight locomotive.

French Railways A-Z

The railways of France present a uniquely interesting picture, consisting as they once did of two entirely separate but overlapping systems: the standard-gauge network of the great railway companies and the mostly metre-gauge network of the local rural railways.

This book attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of this fascinating diversity. Featuring a variety of locations throughout France, subjects covered include the seven pre-nationalisation railway companies; locomotives of all types, including both the successful and the spectacular failures; freight and passenger trains; the great railway engineers; famous lines, such as the Vivarais, as well as the not so famous; tourist railways; some of the great engineering marvels, such as the Viaduc du Garabit; accidents and disasters; railways in wartime; and even railways which were built but never saw a train.

Using the author's own photographs as well as historic postcard views, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in railways.

Les chemins de fer industriels

At the end of the 19th century, the development of railways marked a turning point in the Industrial Revolution. In a booming France, the railway accompanied industry and profoundly affected the regions on the economic, social, political and environmental levels.
Its development contributed to the country's energy wealth and punctuated the life of entire geographical areas. These lines, mainly operated by mining companies, metallurgical groups or by large factories, were connected at one or more points to the general interest network operated by the large companies.

This book restores the memory of the railway's contribution to the Industrial Revolution, a forgotten story. It traces a true national panorama from 1840 to the present day. A new subject combining history, technology and geography.
