trains in St-Michel-de-Maurienne station, France



Views taken circa 1910 and 1970, both showing the Arc river.   The place is best known, however, for the worst train accident in French history in December 1917 when an out of control troop train from Modane on the steep 3% grade derailed nearby, killing 700 soldiers - details
