Sleeping-car type P, CIWL No. 4550. Built 1956 by Carel-Fouché, it was
in service for SNCF until 1987 or 1988. Its last UIC number (now cancelled out)
was 61 87 75-30 740-7. It is in the appearance of the 1980s, with cobalt blue
stripes above the windows and on the bottom, and the "Sleeping-car" signs are
cobalt blue as well, with white inscriptions. Rubber gangways and oil heating
have been added in the 1970s.

Sleeping-car type P, CIWL No. 4550. Very few of these cars are preserved in
their original state. 20 of them have been completely rebuilt in the early
1990s and are still running in daily service for ÖBB, SNCB and NS. The
most notable differences before rebuilding are the twenty small compartments at
two levels. After 1983 they could be used with a second class ticket and "T2"
supplement in France - before, they were charged first class "Special" tariff
(less expensive than a "Single").

Presidential coach PR2.
Originally built by Carel et Fouché in 1924 as third class
coach C11 for the Est railway, entirely rebuilt in 1954, this carriage was
subject to major modifications by the Villeneuve-Voitures workshops to
improve safety and comfort. Material improvements included armour plating,
soundproofing and air conditioning. The decor and furnishings of the
interior - which includes a platform, a VIL lounge and the president's
office and bedroom - were created by the interior designer Leleu. After
it was commissioned in 1954, the PR2 was frequently used by the presidents
of the Fourth Republic and after 1958 by Général Charles de
Gaulle. After his death in 1970, it was not much used, and retired in 1983.

Trans Europ Express - the name, the prestige, the period! The days of the TEE are over now, and to see a genuine TEE coach, you would have to travel to the French Railway Museum in Mulhouse, France, where they keep one of the charming Inox coaches used on this service.
