trains arrive at Sisteron, France



This is at an altitude of 482 metres and was opened in 1872. Above is a postcard dated 1904 and a view of the Alpazur (Geneva to Digne for a connection from there to Nice on the CP) some 70 years or so later.  There is a long tunnel under the town, a portal of it is visible in the second pic.
