fr-lu_Zouftgen_1.jpg (39349 bytes)

This is the Bettembourg-Zouftgen portion (Luxemburg-Thionville line), seen from the rear car of EC97 "Iris" (Brussels-Chur). At this stage the car was still in the Great Duchy, yet very very close to the French border... The train had already passed a French signal which announces the changeover. This segment features a long 12%o (1 in 80) gradient. Pre-electrification (1956), there was a 380-m tunnel on the Luxemburg side, accross this gradient, approximately between the two bridges in the background. Zouftgen. 17th June 2004.

L3 (Luxembourg-Réding), seen very close to the border with France, looking South, towards Zouftgen and Thionville. Whereas the border is still to come, within that curve in the background, one can already notice French signalling and speed signs. At this stage, top speed ranges from 130 to 140km/h, depending on the class of train. Dudelange (Diddeléng) [Bettembourg Frontière]. 19th December 2005. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr)

Here we are: L3 (Luxembourg-Réding), seen at the border with France, looking South.
