Superbe vidéo, qui commence à dater , ce qui fait son charme. Quelle "gueule" elles avaient ces "danseuses" surtout en double traction. Que de belles circulations. j'ai beaucoup apprécié le "train de machines" et la rame ballastière tractée par des BB 25500. Merci pour ces 13'59" de plaisir ferroviaire.

Great video… in the meantime all the « dancers » (nickname of the 25500 and. 8500 classes) have been scrapped. On some parts it seems you had access to non-public parts of the compound, like the engine depot…

Que de belles machines !

Aujourd'hui, le triage de Villeneuve, qui était l'un des deux premiers de France, est à l'abandon ; on préfère mettre des dizaines de camions sur les routes. Pauvre chemin de fer ; et pauvre pays ...

There is that footbridge which you can get to from Villeneuve Triage station also if you cross the footbridge and walk down the road follow the roundhouse there is another footbridge where the freight orbital crosses right beside it . You can walk off the bridge and take pics from there I think still. But you miss them passing through the yard . Freight is down in France since I went there . But if you have time Gare Du Nord and Gare De Lest are fine. Ask nicely and you may get round shed ian.

I have been watching loads of your videos in the past few days. Fantastic indeed. I am thinking about going to France and eventually other European nations to photograph some trains, mainly freight but will photo anything really. This place looks epic. From the comments on this and other videos I think its not as busy as before. But would you suggest this is still the best place for me see a wide variety of French freight traffic? All your videos are fantastic.

@jamile9292 Thanks for the info on these workings bit of a mystery to me .......ian

Nice editing Ian.This is becoming archive footage. Looks like marshalling at V.St.G Triage will stop and whats left done at Le Bourget Triage. So just what are they going to do with the 255 kilometres of V.St.G track ? Maybe a big memorial - " FRET SNCF R.I.P."

@Deathcult82 many thanks my favorite location ........ian

[@limehouse11]

@Micka5962 Je n'aurais pas pu mieux dire. ils semblent avoir fait ce qu'il s'est passé ici au Royaume Uni. nous avons maintenant rien, seulement des trains de marchandises et de ne pas bloquer beaucoup d'entre eux non plus. merci pour commenter.
