Class 72000 (CC-172044) of SNCF-VFE, seen on TIR 4508 (Lyon Perrache--->Orléans).
<p>
Whereas VFE retains a limited fleet of 72000s (No 44, 73 & 88), those units hardly run on VFE (i.e. Corail) services. 
<br>
Instead, they are used as back-up units on TIR and TER services around Lyons, Nevers, Clermont-Ferrand, Bourges and Tours.
