  Railway Technology - LGV Est Europeen High Speed Line
First to open was the Sud-Est route to Lyon in 1982, which has since been followed by the Atlantique lines to west and south-west France, LGV Nord Europe to Lille, Belgium and the Channel Tunnel and extensions to take Paris Sud Est trains all the way to the Mediterranean at Marseille.
LGV Est follows the now common pattern of high-speed lines in France, with an all-new 405km line built between Vaires, 23km east of Paris and Vendenheim, just outside Strasbourg, but only the 300km first phase to Baudrecourt has been approved at this stage.
Originally no new rolling stock was to be built for LGV Est as trains were to be operated by 2+8 TGV Reseau sets cascaded from LGV Nord Europe duties.

  Nord
Nord (French: North) is a département in the north of France.
Nord comprises the French part of former Flanders, excluding the western part separated in 1237 as the county of Artois (now a part of the neighbouring Pas-de-Calais).
Nord is part of the current Nord-Pas-de-Calais région and is surrounded by the French départements of Pas-de-Calais and Aisne, as well as by Belgium and the North Sea.

While New York City typically sees about ten LGV cases each year, the current two are the first in the city that may be tied to a larger sexual network where the bacteria is spreading.
Belgian trainset 3101-3102 was covering Eurostar 9047 (Paris to London), travelling northbound on track 1 of the LGV Nord high speed line at 300 km/h with 501 passengers on board.
The sector skills council for the freight logistics industries says that with benefits that include a good salary, flexible hours, interesting work and the chance to be their own boss whilst out on the road, driving an LGV is a career option with great potential.

The LGV Est from Paris to Strasbourg was inaugurated on 15 March 2007, and opens to the public in the summer of 2007.
LGV construction is similar to that of normal railway lines, but with a few key differences.
LGV track is anchored by more sleepers (railroad ties) per kilometre than usual, and all are made of concrete, either mono- or bi-bloc, the latter consisting of two separate blocks of concrete joined by a steel bar.

Mixed-traffic LGVs remain uncommon, but certain stretches of less-used track are routinely mixed-traffic, such as the Tours branch of the LGV Atlantique, and the planned Nîmes/Montpellier branch of the LGV Mediterranée.

Some stretches of less-used LGV are routinely mixed-traffic, such as the Tours branch of the LGV Atlantique, and the planned Nîmes/Montpellier branch of the LGV Mediterranée.
The Eurotunnel between France and England is not an LGV, but it uses LGV-type TVM signalling for mixed freight, shuttle and Eurostar traffic at between 100km/h and 160km/h.
Because TGVs on LGVs travel too fast for their drivers to see and react to traditional lineside signals, an automated system called TVM (Transmission Voie-Machine, or track to train transmission) is used for signalling.

Catenary wires are kept at a greater mechanical tension than normal lines because the pantograph causes oscillations in the wire, and the wave must travel faster than the train to avoid producing standing waves that would cause the wires to break.
All LGV junctions are grade-separated, with tracks crossing each other using flyovers or tunnels, eliminating crossing other tracks on the level.

 TGV information - Search.com
Originally, LGV was defined as a line permitting speeds greater than 200 km/h (125 mph); this guideline was subsequently revised to permit speeds up to 250 km/h (155 mph).
LGV track is anchored by more railway sleepers per kilometre than is usual in track construction, and all are made of concrete (either mono- or bi-blocs, the latter being when the sleeper consists of two separate blocks of concrete joined by a steel bar).
Japanese and Taiwanese LGV networks are therefore isolated from the narrow gauge networks used for traditional rail in the two countries.

A short AGV half-set known as 'Elisa' was tested at high speed on the LGV Nord in 2002 to assess its performance, but lack of orders on the horizon meant it returned to Alstom's factory to await further development.
Also in the pipeline is LGV Languedoc Roussillon, which would extend the western branch of LGV Mediterranee beyond Nimes to serve Montpellier initially, but in the longer term to Perpignan and beyond to connect with the Spanish high speed network now under construction.
LGV Rhin-Rhone would link the existing PSE line at Dijon with Besancon, Belfort and Mulhouse, allowing faster trains to this area and to Switzerland.

Under test conditions, the TGV has reached speeds of 515.3 km/h (320.2 mph), setting a world record in 1990.
LGVs only support high-speed traffic, and especially do not support freight trains (except for TGV high-speed postal freight).
A strong point of the TGV in comparison to magnetic levitation trains is that older tracks may be used without special improvements; this is especially important when serving railway stations inside city centers (Paris's or

The Ligne a Grande Vitesse Nord-Europe is a French high speed railway line that runs from the 16.2km north of the Parisien Gare du Nord via Lille Europe and onto Calais to enter the Channel Tunnel.
Just south of Lille the line separates in a grade-separate triangle to join the Belgian LGV (Ligne Nouvelle 1) heading east across the Belgian border to Brussels, Cologne and the Netherlands.
At the southern end, just before Paris there is a connection from the LGV Nord-Europe to the LGV Interconnexion, leading to the stations at Charles de Gaulles Airport and Marne-la-Vallée, the latter enabling direct trains from London and Amsterdam to Disneyland Paris.

In 1994 the first stage of the LGV Interconnexion was opened from the Vémars triangle on the LGV Nord to Crisenoy on the second stage of the PSE LGV1.
At peak periods during the skiing season TGVs to and from the Alps from the Gare du Nord were also able to use the Interconnexion line by way of the south to east side of the Vémars triangle.
Now that the TGV lines from the north and west were connected to the Paris Sud-Est LGV the remainder of the 1990s saw an expansion of inter-sector trains.

Paradoxalement, il aura fallu attendre la construction de la troisième ligne nouvelle à grande vitesse en l’occurrence la LGV Nord pour redécouvrir les mérites de l’acier dans la construction des grands ouvrages d’art.
Pour la LGV Est européenne c’est le maître d’ouvrage RFF qui a défini les besoins et les règles, ce sont les maîtres d’œuvres qui ont eu la charge de la conception et ce sont les entreprises qui ont assuré et assurent la réalisation des ouvrages.
Pour ce qui concerne les coûts il est encore un peu trop tôt pour savoir si sur la LGV Est européenne on constatera la même bonne maîtrise.

La LGV nord viendra ensuite se greffer le plus près possible de l'autoroute de manière à économiser le plus d'espace possible, particulièrement à hauteur de la réserve naturelle du Peerdsbos.
Si les délais sont respectés et si les tests techniques sont concluants, la LGV nord sera prête, fin 2006, pour une mise en service commercial sur le territoire belge.
