Class 7200 (BB-107261) of SNCF-VFE, seen upon arrival on Trenhotel Elipsos 406/7 "Francisco de Goya" from Madrid-Chamartin.

This loco is cleared for 200km/h-125mph, and primarily runs on Paris-Irun, with Trenhotel services of Elipsos.

However, these services actually run at such speed only if behind schedule, owing to relaxed pathing.

Paris-Austerlitz.

7th November 2005.
