Home News Archiv 30.08.2013 - [FR] MRCE Class 66s on the LGV Est [Updated 2013-08-31]

Thanks to David Haydock, we now know that there are at least five MRCE Class 66 locomotives used during the second construction phase of the LGV Est in France. They are used by ETF for construction trains to support track laying between Baudrecourt and Vendenheim. All units seemed to have primarily been in service in the Netherlands earlier.


Of these 5 (or more) locos, the following numbers are known:
