SNCF's X 2400 are a class of railcars. The 79 XABDP 2400, unifiés were built from 1951 to 1955. They were capable of carrying 12 passengers in 1st class and 56 in 2nd class, they were long and capable of reaching a top speed of . The railcars were often coupled to trailers of coupled to other units. The class was put into service along the X 3800, ''Picasso''. These railcars facilitated the phasing out of steam traction and to renew aging railcar stock. The class was first allocated to Limoges and onto the lines of the Massif Central, coupled to XR 8000 trailers. The X 2400 was quickly accompanied by the X 2800 railcars, equipped with one engine only, but more powerful. The maintenance cost of the X 2400 was greater than the one-engined X 2800 and so the class was moved to Rennes. The arrival of the X 2100 and X 2200 railcars precipitated the retirement of the X 2400, the last 2400 retiring in 1989. The X 2464 was withdrawn from service in 1988 and was modified into a measurement train. It was painted into the Corail livery of dark grey, orange and white. Twelve railcars have been preserved. Two sub-classes of X 2400 exist: *XABDP 2401 to 2469 with a weight of , two 517G Renault engines with (340 ch) output. *XABDP 2470 to 2479 with a weight of , two Saurer engines with (320 ch) output. ==X 2400 in preservation== * X 2402: at Les Hôpitaux-Neufs, CFT Pontarlier-Vallorbe * X 2403: at Bort-les-Orgues - Neussargues, ACFHA * X 2416: at Carhaix-Plouguer, CFTA * X 2419: at Vendôme, CFT vallée du Loir * X 2423: at Loudéac Chemin de Fer du Centre Bretagne * X 2425: at Estivareilles, Chemin de fer du Haut-Forez * X 2426: at Pont-Audemer, PontAuRail * X 2429: at Carhaix-Plouguer, CFTA * X 2448: at Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, AAMCS * X 2464: still with the SNCF as measurement train * X 2468: at Attigny, CFT Sud des Ardennes * X 2475: at Saint-Étienne (museum) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SNCF Class X 2400」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
