& T66

- Six Brissonneau
and Lotz locomotives were acquired in 1950. Of these, only T62
remains, plus T66 acquired second hand from the Swiss CJ. Following
the rebuilding of ex-CJ driving trailer XR-1376, these locos
are used on peak period push-pull trains, also using ex-Swiss
XR-1372.

- RL-1
to RL-7 (XR-1331 to XR-1337)
-
- When all
passenger traffic was transferred to the Renault autorails in
the early 1950s, some trains lacked capacity. Two Billard trailers
(similar to the Billard autorails later transferred from the
Vivarais) were bought in 1955. These were Billard design R210D2.
They were numbered RL-1 and RL-2. A third vehicle, RL-3 was delivered
in 1959. They had 42 seats, and were frequently pulled by rebuilt
Renaults ZZ-21 & ZZ-22 (ex-ZZ-1 & ZZ-2). Similar RL-4
& RL-5 were purchased from CFD du Tarn in 1964. RL-6 &
RL-7 then followed from the Vivarais in 1969. RL-1 and RL-5 received
completely new bodies in 1979, to be followed by RL-6 and RL-4.
The heavier new bodies caused problems with the original Billard
bogies, and RL-5 was rebuilt with new single axles, with RL-4
and RL-6 following. RL-1, alone amongst the rebodied trailers,
retained her Billard bogies, which were strengthened to prevent
further problems. RL-1 was renumbered XR-1331 and remains based
in Nice for strengthening certain peak period services. Of the
un-rebodied cars, RL-2 and RL-3 (later XR-1332 and XR-1333) had
most of their windows removed for use as parcels vehicles. RL-7
(later XR-1337) then received a new parcels body in 1990, similar
in shape to the rebodied passenger trailers.
