This is not a museum. This is a mountain railway that received four brand-new vehicles in 2023. The railway is in hibernation. The old vehicles have not yet been removed. That's why it still looks like a museum at the moment. The old stuff is still being removed.
It evokes some interest on many people about how they isolated the 12 km branch from the SNCF railways with a narrower gauge! Even narrower than what we have in NZ.
@@DFB7064geek There are many 1000mm railways in Europe. Even the SNCF line from Saint-Gervais to Vallorcine on the border with Switzerland is metre-gauge. It even has a continuation to Martigny in Switzerland. In Switzerland in particular, there are many metre-gauge lines in addition to the standard gauge. Even main lines. In the north of Spain there are very large metre-gauge networks. France also had huge networks until the 1960s. So the 3ft3in gauge is nothing rare. It exists on every continent except Oceania. apparently
