The clouds that wetted the Tunis platforms are just
disappearing to the west. DP-152 waits with train 11 to Ghardimaou. No
time to think about the nice reflection because of some unfriendly staff
preventing further pics. Rolf Stumpf photo |
| DP-152 rolls to its train for Ghardimaou in January 2000, as seen
from the pedestrian bridge which spans over the station tracks. To the
right a pair of GT18B is visible which replaced the MLW/BBD power on
most of the ng passenger trains since 1999. Rolf Stumpf photo |

DP-150, the second unit of the Bombardier MXS-624
class in the new blue livery of the SNCFT, awaits departure with train
25 to Ghardiamou. Tunis ville, December 27th, 2001. In the background
you see the French cathedral, completed 1882. Rolf Stumpf photo |
| DP-152 leaves Tunis ville station with the afternoon train to
Ghardimaou which was during the Ramadam season in January 2000 already
wedged full from the beginning. Two years later most of the stock used
for the express trains was refurbished - at least repainted. Rolf Stumpf photo |

Sunrise at Medjez el Bab on January 4th, 2002.
DP-151 in charge of train 7 to Ghardimaou and waits for the meet with
train 6 (also with DP that day). The conductor was not agreeing with me
taking a picture. Rolf Stumpf photo |
| DP-152 at Ghardimaou near the border to Algeria. The BBD ran around
the train right after arrival and now waits for departure time with
train 22. December 28th, 2001. Not much to see here, a chance to stock
up fruit and water at the local markets for the return trip. Rolf Stumpf photo |
