the Chemin de fer du Montenvers, France - 2


We did an earlier post on this metre gauge 5.1 km cogwheel railway which overcomes a height difference of 871 metres with a gradient varying from 11% to 22% - here are some more postcard pics. The line was worked by steam locomotives from opening 1909 until electrification in 1953.
