jonny777 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 On the 5th June 1991, 58048 was passing Bescot with an MGR train, therefore it must have put in occasional appearances. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2018 Is that as steep as it looks? It's foreshortened a bit by the telephoto but there are places on the LGV Rhin-Rhone and LGV Est which are like switchbacks, but the TGV's are incredibly powerful.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2018 Despite the depth of the cutting, the climb west from Pagny sur Moselle on the LGV Est is still pretty horrendous. 58.040 descends towards Pagny with a short works train Oct 2005 (taken with a 8mm-50mm lens so not sure of actual focal length) 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Cologne and Frankfurt there is a summit on the ICE line that makes you feel as though you are going over a humped back bridge! Jim Thats the thing with high speed lines - they are lousy at changing direction and require very broad sweeping curves to cope with the lateral g-forces and keep trains on the rails, BUt changes in the vertical profile can be handled with ease thanks to the powerful electric traction they use giving rise to the 'rollercoaster' appearance. Of course in the early days of railways a high speed was less desirable (or attainable due to the steam locomotive technology of the time) so the effort was put into keeping gradients and changes between them as gentle as possible. Thus we have some pretty twisty main lines that inhibit train performance to this day (Tilt can only compensate so much) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus we have some pretty twisty main lines that inhibit train performance to this day (Tilt can only compensate so much) There are several locations in which the Pendolinos on the West Coast are not able to hit 125 even with tilt. In some places the Voyagers have a lower EPS speed compared to the Pendolinos due to the amount of tilt they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
