Bonjour à tous! si les locos américaine EMD, GE, Alco sont de fantastiques machines. La cc 72000 véritablement extraordinaire et très en avance de conception, et je déplore sa prochaine disparition.Merci pour ces belles images.
I confirm they are still around. Chances are you'll find them at the Gare de l'Est hauling passenger trains going eastbound to Troyes, Mulhouse and Basel. The ones you find are mostly CC 72100 (72000s with a new diesel engine), I shot a movie last year with no less than 2 CC 72100 heading a passenger train to Vesoul and Mulhouse. You can watch it on YT.
@limehouse11 I just watched your video again, and I have to say I never get tired of it! I realized I forgot to mention how fantastic your filming skills are! As we say in French: "Le mal est réparé!"
Je peux me tromper, mais je pense qu'il s'agit de train pour et depuis l'ancienne usine Citroën d'Aulnay sous Bois. Je me souviens avoir admiré ces belles CC qui passaient au dessus de l'A3 , sur l'embranchement particulier menant à l'usine.
Its been a while but there may be some still on freight and passenger , i will ask around and see if someone can come up with anything , We saw them at Gare Du Lest And Le Bourget And Bobigny Paris Plus Gare Du Nord as well ,if you travel by rail to Paris like we did then try these places try asking the staff they may help , but things have changed a lot , im hoping some are around .....thanks ...ian.
@Enviro4000 I passed Chalindrey with a 72000 in from from Gare du lest to Basel quite a journey the change to electric at Mulhouse ive posted the loco change part somewhere in my videos . Never made it to the depot thought we passed it, looks quite amazing . i took to the 72000s straight away , there were lots of them around then , seems a lot of countries dont want to use big diesels anymore . hope i get to see some of them again...ian
@armoricain One very amazing loco saw quite a few , on very large freights and passenger workings , even saw the demo against them at gare du lest . when recording the passenger workings. Travelled behind them going to basel . Still im very lucky to have these videos , i kept the original tapes i recorded them on , never thought so many people would be viewing them , its quite amazing , as you said theres nothing like that turbo whistle. thanks....ian
Thats Gare Du Lest just down the road 10 mins walk from Gare Du Nord . you must remember this was shot over 10 years ago and most of this will not be there , i do belive there are some loco hauled services from both stations , there maybe a more up to date video on youtube . there is a reply from umh121 below which will help....ian
theres not many 72000 passanger runs left I find these very nice loco's but run between pairs to mulhouse now but you can find them on the d b night sleeper from gard d est when rail works on nice video
@trainagri vouliez-vous dire quand je les ai enregistrées. Si c'est le cas du triage de Bobigny a été enregistré 13 6 2000, la Gare de l'Est 29 1 2001 espérons que cette aide. J'espère revenir bientôt à Paris pour voir ce que de grands changements ont été apportés. Merci de votre intérêt ça me pousse. Ian
@limehouse11 I love the CC 72000, God, do I love it! The sound of its engine is out of this world, the whistling of the turbos is absolutely amazing! Its power is rail-ripping! I remember the first time I traveled on a train pulled by a CC 72000, it was in 1972 during a trip organized by my high school from Brest on the western tip of Brittany to Paris. It was an 18-car train! It didn't seem to bother that good ol' 3600 HP 72000 one bit! Before the so-called oil crisis in the '70s put an end...
Superbe cette vidéo, comme toutes les autres. Très belle locomotive avec un son mythique du diesel. Peux tu nous dire le ou les mois et l'année de l'enregistrement ? Merci
Jolie vidéo , je suis permis de vous l'apprendre sans votre permission si cela vous ennnuie, faite lemon savoir j'ai bien préciser la vidéo est de vous
Puma Nocturne effectivement les moteurs AGO des cc 72000 sont équipés de turbines comme celles des réacteurs d'avion et beaucoup de moteurs diesel sont comme ça
yes, 2 units are in Mulhouse museum, but you even can see one of them (the 72084) in original livery, she 's working to move historical locomotives around the country.
