Riding Trains in Europe: From Trams to TGV'sPart II

Bill Edwards has made 18 trips to Western Europe, mostly for business, and made sure to ride as many trains as possible along the way.  This presentation covers the second part of a trip in June, 2016 - this part in France and Spain.  In this episode, we ride multiple TGVs at 180 mph (smoothest train ride ever), tiptoe along the Mediterranean coast, experience the wonders of Talgo gauge-changing / voltage changing equipment, ride on Spain's multi-gauge mainline trackage, and grab the Madrid subway a couple of times.  Bill's programs often include images of the infrastructure, a walk inside the train, and a look inside the stations to provide a glimpse of what it is really like to ride a variety of trains - from trams to TGVs - across Europe.

There will also be a short In The News program preceding the regular program.

This program is open to all CERA members, their guests and the public.
