The TGV POS train No. 4714 is part of 30 trainsets named "3UA" fourth generation "TGV 2N2" for service SNCF / VFE - Lyria / CFF - Alleo / DB and Elipsos / Renfe. The trains also called "Euroduplex" are sisters of the generation of the TGV Duplex Dasye and they resume the main features.

They are suitable for France, Germany and Switzerland (Paris-Est station, 12 September 2015 - photo Mediarail.be)

Belgium : a class 19 on an InterCity Eupen-Ostend? This is possible if it is required to couple automatically two trainsets. But the trainset Ostende-Eupen is a single set with cars class I11 and a driver-car, which does not necessitate the presence of a automatic coupling  (Brussels-Midi, May 27, 2013, click on the picture to enlarge - photo Mediarail.be)

SNCB uses his old class 55 diesel locomotives for his TGV rescue. Until now, these locomotives had not a specific livery and conserved the old yellow livery. At their reconstruction in the workshop of Salzinnes (Namur), they received the new livery applied to the current locomotives Siemens (class 18 and 19), ie the most recent version. Here is the new livery for the 5509 while behind, the 5511 has still his original yellow livery.
