It lies in the south-west of the country, on the border with France and in the valley of the Alzette, which flows through the city. The city is usually referred to as just Esch; however, the full name distinguishes it from the village and commune of Esch-sur-Sûre which lies 45 kilometres (28 miles) further north. The country's capital, Luxembourg City, is roughly 15 km (9.3 mi) to the north-east. Esch was selected as the European Capital of Culture for 2022, alongside Kaunas and Novi Sad. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ CFL Class 2000 is a class of electric multiple units operated by CFL on the Luxembourg railway network. They were built in 1990-1992 by a consortium of De Dietrich, ANF and Alstom and are similar to SNCF's Z 11500 class. The Z2 family of multiple units was designed by Francorail and Ateliers de construction du Nord de la France. CFL selected a variant of the Z 11500 class for their network. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (Luxembourg National Railway Company, abbreviated CFL) is the national railway company of Luxembourg.
