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.

The 399-meter-long Saane Viaduct near Gümmenen on the Bern - Neuchâtel line, located in a slightly hilly landscape just north of Laupen, is hardly to be overlooked due to its size, in stark contrast to the two BLS NINA RABe 525 trains that are currently crossing the now double-tracked viaduct.

The traditional Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald, and for this market, the  Emmental Railway  operates several steam trains on the Sumiswald Grünen – Wasen i.E. route. The picture shows the E 3/3 853 of the Dampf Bahn Bern association departing from Sumiswald Grünen. The steam locomotive was built in 1890 in Winterthur under factory number 629 and delivered as F3 853 to the J-S (Jura-Simplon Railway). At the SBB, the shunting locomotives of the E 3/3 series with operating numbers 851 – 853 were assigned to group 82 and received the numbers 8571 – 8576. In 1911, the locomotive E 3/3 853 received a new boiler and was sold to the RVT, where it was in service until 1928, after which it was used as an  industrial shunting locomotive  at Von Roll in Gerlafingen and Klus. When diesel locomotives made the steam locomotive obsolete, it was saved from scrapping by the Düby Foundation by handing it over to the DBB. After an overhaul in 1983, it was operated, among other places, on the Sensetalbahn. After a further overhaul in 2021, the DBB E 3/3 853 is mainly used on the Emmentalbahn route between Sumiswald-Grünen and Wasen i.E. Today, the E 3/3 853 carries the UIC number 90 85 0008 573-7.  
In the background, the ABDe 4/4 12  Weinfelden  of the Historic Mittel-Thurgau-Bahn association can be seen with the  Bodan  coach and the BDt, which shows that the traditional Gotthelf Market is well known and popular far beyond the local borders.

About the Sumiswald-Grünen Wasen i.E. route: This line was opened together with the Ramsei - Huttwil route by the RSHB on June 1, 1908, but could not be operated profitably. In 1994, the VHB converted the line to bus operation. Since 2014, the ETB has taken over the route, and besides freight traffic to the RUWA siding, museum trains run on the line.
