Saint-Claude 🇫🇷 (Jura) is a railway hub northeast of Lyon, and it used to be a sanctuary for elderly #SNCF #X2720 “RGP” and class #X2800 “Bleu d’Auvergne” railcars in the early 2000s.
Pictures taken in autumn 2004, in the company of a super kind station agent. 🙏

A photo taken on the “Ligne des Alpes” 🇫🇷 in 2003 (or early 2004) from the rear cab of an #SNCF #X73500 “A TER” railcar: A class #X2720 #RGP #RGP1 DMU, displaying the blue “Rhône-Alpes” regional livery, is leaving for #Grenoble. These units were originally built in the 1950s for long-distance services.
