France --- world power?

Bombardier Transportation in France head Jean Berge stands in front of a giant model of the "Regio 2N" regional double-deck train developed for the French SNCF railway network

The French hold themselves out to be a world power and the center of the intellectual world. despite their many 'shortcomings and failures.' Accordingly, they are frequently the butt of 'French Jokes.'  Well they have done it again, ordering 2,000 trians at billions of Euros, only to find out on delivery that the trains are too wide to get into more than 300 stations.  World power --- hummmmm.
