Présentation de la motrice sous référence 72066,
This multiple unit is distinguished by its blue and yellow varnished livery. It was originally used by the Swiss and Dutch railways for TEE traffic.
The train ran in Canada from 1977 on the Toronto and Timmins lines in the province of Ontario. Because of the extreme temperature, it damaged the diesel engines. So, after two years in service, these locomotives were replaced by FP-7Am locomotives.
.Thanks to the Swiss and Dutch TEE fans, the 2 pilot cars have been kept in Europe. These pilot cars are in the Netherlands and are being restored.
