TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse)




GAMES FEATURED IN:
Ace Combat 6 (cutscenes only)

OPERATORS:
Unknown. Possibly Emmerian national rail operators.

OVERVIEW:
The TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, French for "high-speed train") is France's high-speed rail service developed by GEC-Alsthom (now Alstom) and SNCF, the French national rail operator, and operated primarily by SNCF. Following the inaugural TGV service between Paris and Lyon in 1981, the TGV network, centered on Paris, has expanded to connect cities across France and in adjacent countries.

TGV train sets travel at up to 320 km/h (200 mph) in commercial use. A specially modified train set reached 574.8 km/h (357 mph) on test runs. Its high speed, almost equal to that of prototype maglev trains, is made possible through the use of specially-designed LGVs (lignes à grande vitesse, high-speed lines) without sharp curves and with high-powered electric motors, low axle weight, articulated carriages and in-cab signaling (eliminating the need for drivers to view line side signals at high speed).

Several TGVs can be seen in the cut scenes located in the railway station.
