<p>Reeds meer dan twee jaar geleden werd de klopjacht op Frankrijk haar pronkstukken geopend. Toen hoorden daar ook nog de BB26000 &quot;Sybic&quot; in de béton-kleurstelling bij, die binst hun beurt voor een enkeltje naar Baroncourt afwachten. Fret SNCF bezat rond september 2023 nog enkele actieve exemplaren die over bijna heel Frankrijk ingezet werden. Deze pronkstukken tegen het lijf lopen zou wel een keer een hele opgave kunnen worden, dachten we aanvankelijk. Het land is immers niet klein en heeft toch wat goederenverkeer. Achteraf bekeken verliep het allemaal vlotter dan we ooit durfden dromen. <br />
<br />
In september 2023 maakten we eerste grote fototoer doorheen Frankrijk waarbij we op diverse aardige plekken terechtkwamen. Aan het einde van de eerste schoolweek voor de scholieren, keerden we langzaam maar zeker terug noordwaarts richting huis. Onderweg kwamen we in het departement Puy-de-Dôme terecht. Daar zou het nog kiezen worden tussen twee kleppers van formaat; zijnde de 26230 met lege schuifwandwagens/zeildoekwagens of een BB67400 van Fret SNCF die uitzonderlijk een bediening zou uitvoeren. We besloten beide te proberen, ondanks het heel close zou kunnen worden. Alles hing er van af of de bedieningstrein met de BB67400 een stilstand al dan niet zou respecteren.<br />
<br />
De 26230 maakte gelukkig voort en passeerde het duo Belgische Frankrijk-liefhebbers op een nazomerse 7 september 2023 met trein 75049 op weg van Villeneuve-Saint-Georges-Triage naar Clermont-les-Gravanches waar ze een soortgelijke trein zou aanpakken om terug noordwaarts te keren aan het einde van de middag. Na het maken van deze foto werd als de bliksem vertrokken in de hoop dat we nog op tijd zouden komen voor de tweede hoofdvogel van de dag...<br />
