A rather unexpected Class 4500 DMU:
<p>
X-4554, originally vested in SNCF-GL, for shuttles on Nevers-Saincaize.
<br>
Rebuilt in 2002 with deluxe interiors (Wine bar in the power-car, observation-lounge in the trailer), for premium gourmet tours in the Southwest, operated by French Rail Cruises SARL, which paid for the remodelling.
<p>
Since then, FRC has gone bust, while this DMU has been stabled, reportedly pending re-sale...
<p>
Toulouse-Matabiau.
