Sadly against the light: on 19 September 2023 SNCF 7269 hauls a corail train into Paris Austerlitz. From 2025 these loco services are almost gone, having been taken over by hybrid multiple units. 

In the relatively large station of La Tour-de-Carole-Enveitg with three gauges (broad gauge, standard gauge and narrow gauge) and very little traffic, the RENFE ETB 7 447 065-4 and another regional train leave for Barcelona. The SNCF BB 7293 with the parked night express train to Paris is on the siding. April 19, 2024 
