The SNCF Z 27516, operating as MOBIGO TER 894008, is en route from Belfort to Besançon Viotte and has arrived at the Montbéliard station. While I generally avoid using German names for non-German-speaking locations, an exception seems appropriate here, as Montbéliard was part of the House of Württemberg for a good 400 years. But back to the railway: Montbéliard is situated on the Dole–Belfort line—opened in 1858—and is served today by TER trains. Prior to the opening of the TGV line, however, it also hosted long-distance services, such as night trains between Luxembourg and Portbou, or the SNCF  Turbotrain  units running between Lyon and Strasbourg. Furthermore, from 1868, a line connected Montbéliard to Delle; passenger service on this route was discontinued as early as 1938.

At St-Gervais, the narrow-gauge SNCF Z 850 052 unit awaits departure for Montroc-le-Planet. The onward journey to Vallorcine could not take place due to weather conditions (snow and avalanches). The image also shows how the standard-gauge tracks are spanned by a simple overhead contact line, while the narrow-gauge railway is electrified via a third rail. Feb 21, 2026

In 2007 125 years of the Gotthard line in Switzerland were celebrated massively and two of the participants came steaming from the Czech Republic. From then on, it has been a constant dream of Steam Story Agency rto invite Swiss steam traction on a train fest on Czech soil. Finally, with the last edition of SSA's museum train bonanza in and around Benesov u Prahy, the dream came true with DDF's 241A65 -a French machine. With an extra train from Praha via Ceske Budejovice, 241A65 enters Benesov u Prahy on 18 September 2026.

The 12.4 km long TMB (Tramway du Mont-Blanc) rack railway has been running from Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet station to the Nid d'Aigle in the Mont Blanc massif since 1913, with the first section to Col de Voza having been opened in the summer of 1908. A curious feature is the ‘naming’ of the vehicles: they have no identification or number but are named after the director's daughters, and each train has its own colour. At the hairpin bend between Le Fayet and St-Gervais, the Blue MARIE with the control car of the same name is on its way from the Col de Voza to the Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet train Station. 21 February 2026
