That would be:
THIS TRAIN WAS
CONSTRUCTED
IN THE CITY
LA ROCHELLE
For the bonus question, I would have to guess; it might be the Minerva- as the italian pendolino trains are produced in La Rochelle, but then the plate couldn't be that corroded. Therefore; the right answer must be the ICARUS TGV - also built in La Rochelle.
