picturesquely situated railway bridge, Besancon, France


This bridge near the Porte Rivotte (visible) is near the beginning of the line which leads from Besancon in France to La Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland. The non-electrified line runs 74 km to the French-Swiss border town of Locle-Col-des-Roches and the SNCF railcars run further to the (rather industrial) town of La Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland. The whole line, with gradients up to 3%, is quite picturesque.
