Due to my trip to Rouen not entirely being about this hobby, the Sotteville recession sidings were skipped, just takes too long to walk around them and photograph everything and seeing as this was done last year, it figures it can wait for the next trip.

However, the opportunity to visit Sotteville Depot - where more current traction can be found, was taken. A mixture of Infa and FRET locomotives on shed this time around, with the fans of class in Infra 660 and FRET 460 not being disappointed (like myself) class 475 by FRET examples and Infra class 675 examples as well, and a more unusual visitor to the yard was that of a SNCF passenger electric, a CORail 107, one of two in this livery the rest being class 115's. So I've managed near enough a full house traction wise in this region of France over two visits. Still, I'm sure in a few months more gems will be hiding in those recession sidings.

In the meantime, the final chapter in the 3rd French bash on a busy mainline locomotive depot, but by no means the last...watch this space...
