In anticipation of the return to service of railcar 4506, more than 25 PFT drivers have returned to the classroom over the past few days.

During 4 hours of theoretical training given by a volunteer in charge of rolling stock certification, all aspects of the railcar were covered:

  • Use of the railcar
  • Stopping the railcar
  • Presentation of the railcar
  • Operating principles (engine and transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical circuits, etc.)
  • Preparation of the railcar
  • Troubleshooting the railcar

This theoretical training will be followed by a practical training so that the volunteer drivers can master this machine perfectly and take you safely along the magnificent Bocq valley.
