RégioRail France has gained more traffic in the south of France, including paper traffic at Saint-Gaudens, talc from Luzenac and containers between Niort and Fos. Because the G 1206 locomotives the company hires are not ideal for long-distances, RégioRail eyes the lease of two Prima diesel locomotives from Akiem. Currently, the company evaluates Akiem 75106, which still carries the livery of previous lessee TSO.
