I drove them in 2002 Tunis to Sidi Bou Said. This link [1] has a picture of them, although I remember them being red. But human memory is flawed, for the bulky shape looks right ;)

I witnessed a mass burglary/theft in the train, my friend to barely hold on to his rucksack.

The "TGM" (Tunis, Goulette, Marsa) line. I think they're still using the same trains and colors (blue/white) until now.

I've never been on it, but I've heard that incidents like that may happen once a year on those lines.

PS: I think it's one of the only trains I saw that doesn't have the "closed-door" safety enabled. You can open the doors while it is on full speed and it doesn't matter.
