Clermond Ferrand 30/05/2008
30th May 2008

A day trip in search of freight took me to the GERZAT yard ,10km North of Clermont.
I had a timetable of Freight movements using CC 72000 traction and managed to track down 2 of the 5 x 72000 operating out of Clermont.
If your interest is watching & photographing moving trains , then this is a superb spot despite the 'interference' of the catenary posts & wires.
