It is the late 1960’s and the French National Railways (SNCF) ‘Le Capitole’ is making its way through the countryside on its trip between Toulouse and Paris. Le Capitole will reach speeds of 200 kph, which makes this train the first French train to travel at that speed. The locomotive is a BB9200 class and the only fare available on this train is First Class.
