Why is the motor car positioned downhill from the trailer car?

  1. To control the weight on the way down
  2. To stand out from the SNCF
  3. To comply with regulations
Bonne réponse : 1.3

Positioning it at the rear allows the weight to be controlled on the descent, a safety requirement linked to the steep gradient.
