I am an enthusiast, not an expert - there is a difference! But I love France and visit a few times a year. I know Limousin a little, I love Marseille and I love Paris. France is so photogenic

^ i was joking. Nobody knows about this place ;-)

Humble apologies but my knowledge of French language is very rudimentary and I don't understand: what does "il s'englue" mean?

What line is this station on? Where would that train have been travelling from and to?

"Sybic" stands for Synchrone Bicourante - the class 26000 locos are dual voltage and are known as Sybics. You are obviously not a railway enthusiast! Of course it doesn't matter where you take the photo from and this is unquestionably a nice shot, but my personal preference is for the light to be behind for side views or three-quarter views of locos and trains, so that the detail shows up clearly

^ oh oh.. a specialist... and you do not know Saincaize station !?!? ah ah ah.... it's a big station in center France, close to Nevers. Big, but strangely lost in the countryside and almost deserted...

Pity that the light was in thw wrong place though - the picture would best have been taken from the other platform so that it showed the side of the loco that was illuminated by the sun

^ mmm...I prefer it that way.. but thanks for the attention !
