Electric rail traction - Introduction

The developments described in this collection of articles on "Electric traction for railways" illustrate the importance of this evolution. They illustrate the collaboration between the SNCF and its industrial partners, which alone has enabled such rapid and substantial progress.

The "Traction électrique ferroviaire" collection is an irreplaceable witness to this history of the evolution of traction technology, as well as a reference work. May it inspire new vocations in railway engineering, and engender passions as lively and fertile as those that inspired its authors.
