One of the three-phase HG 2/2 trains reaches the "valley station" at the Col de Saint-Ignace pass at 198 m above sea level in Kärze.

(ID 51759)


One of the three-phase HG 2/2 trains reaches the  valley station  at the Col de Saint-Ignace pass at 198 m above sea level in Kärze. There I asked a train driver what the locomotive was called -  locomotive , was the answer: He 2/2 or something similar only made me shake my head. Internet research revealed that the He 2/2 1 - 4 were built in 1914 by the SLM and BBC under the factory number 2428 - 2431; they came into operation when the railway opened in 1924. The He 2/2 3 locomotive was with the He 2/2 3 from 1938 Luchon Superbagnères cable car in use. Today six of seven locomotives are in use on the Chemin de La Rhune, as after the closure of the Luchon Superbagnères mountain railway, the He 2/2 built by SLM with the serial numbers 2233 -2235 came to the Chemin de La Rhune, with the H 2 /2 4 accidents.

The summit: One of the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune three-phase AC locomotives  He 2/2  departs with its train from the summit station La Rhune, located in the Basque Country right at the border to Spain, at  only  905 meters above (the nearby!) sea level, but with a fantastic view.

France offers not only fast trains but also very cozy ones: Shortly after the summit station La Rhune (905 m above sea level), the Chemin de fer de la Rhune He 2/2, built in 1914 by SLM/BBC, with a maximum speed of 9 km/h, is on its first train of the day heading down to the  valley,  where  valley station  refers to the mountain pass Col de Saint-Ignace at 198 m above sea level. In the background, the view glides over the mighty Atlantic as well as the two towns of Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

One of the six Chemin de Fer de La Rhune He 2/2 three-phase locomotives with its train at the summit station La Rhune. The summit station is located at just over 900 meters above sea level, which is only about 12 kilometers away from the sea.

View of the depot of the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune, located a good three hundred meters from the valley station.
