CC 6500 : group pictures

When a photograph can catch several locomotives on a photo, the atmosphere becomes really interesting, especially if he’s getting several CC 6500 !

It is sometimes just a matter of luck. Some other times, luck has to be helped a little.

But anyway, it was necessary to add a chapter with these nice group pictures.

	Standard is set very high with this first picture, taken in June 2004 in Miramas depot. From left to right, CC 6548, 6531, 6523, 6576 and 6501. BB 7278 spoils a little this picture ... (Photo Fabrice Douhet)
