The Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons-Lyon-Perrache railway is a double-track electrified railway line in France . The railway age in France began in the southern section of the line. The very first railroad, opened in France in 1827, is between Andrézieux and Saint-Étienne , which was also used for passenger travel from 1831 - also for the first time. The two lines Saint-Étienne-Lyon and Roanne-Andrézieux connect to the east and west . This established a connection in central France between the two navigable rivers Rhône and Loire .

In addition to the task of handling local transport, it is now primarily the shortest connection between Paris and Clermont-Ferrand .

These three lines were built by different companies and merged on September 30, 1853 under the Compagnie des chemins de fer de jonction du Rhône à la Loire , but in the extremely lively market only three months later to the Compagnie du chemin de fer Grand-Central de France (CCGF) sold on.

By 1858 the line grew from south to north to Roanne , from 1860 the remaining 110 km from Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons to Montargis were built and the entire line was completed. The new owner of the route, the CCGF, had taken over financially and had to be dissolved. The Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans (PO), which already owned adjacent lines, was very interested in this central line and was able to acquire the concession for it in April 1857, together with two other lines.

As a result, numerous factories settled along the route, which thus enjoyed attractive transport connections. In passenger traffic, there were express trains from 1871 that reached 100 km / h. Numerous international connections - such as a night train Bordeaux – Geneva - were operated. In the 1930s, Bugatti multiple units drove on the Paris – Clermont-Ferrand destination with a top speed of 130 km / h, while steam locomotives were not allowed to exceed 120 km / h.

With the nationalization of PO in 1938 and the takeover by the SNCF as well as the adverse effects of the Second World War, the range of passenger services deteriorated. From Paris in the summer of 1938 the trip to Nevers took 2:23 (3:25), Moulins 3:20 (4:54) and to Clermont-Ferrand 4:20 (7:50), ten years later an hour or more longer. The bridge over the Canal du Loing near Souppes , which was destroyed by the German troops, could only be reopened in 1951. In the 1960s, the steam locomotives were replaced by diesel locomotives of the type BB 67000 . Test drives were carried out with a prototype of the SNCF ETG gas turbine train on a section of this route, which was then used here.

In the 1970s, the line was upgraded, as had been desired since the 1940s, to speed up traffic on the line. Numerous measures such as alignment corrections, replacement of electrical equipment, renewal of the tracks with long, welded rails and the use of new rolling stock such as the CC 72000 have shortened travel times by 30 to 60 minutes. In the 2000s, further improvements were made such as the removal of some level crossings and additional security measures in the stations. Since then, speeds of up to 200 km / h can be achieved; Local trains can travel at speeds of up to 160 km / h.
