Trains in Morocco ONCF

[martin67]

Hi all,

 

travelling is good fun and you see a lot. 2011 I took a brief stop in Morocco during a ship cruise and had the chance to see trains and even take ride from Casablanca to Fez and back. Here are some pictures.

The ONCF is a very modern railway company in northern Africa. The trains  are clean, fast and comfortable, even if they use lots of french 2nd hand rolling stock (or maybe because of that?).
