Other TGV Photo Links

The web's largest collection of TGV pictures is available in the European Railway Server's Picture Gallery. These photos are well worth a visit. SNCF (the French national railways) also have TGV photos here and here. TGV photos occasionally show up in the binary newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.rail, the last few days of which are archived here. At the end of every month, all photos from a.b.p.r. for that month are archived here.

If you have TGV pictures which you would like to see displayed here, I would be pleased to display them; just email me. I have a strong preference for something else than the usual "nose shots".
