Le Train des Pignes

The Train des Pignes or the Train of the Pinecones runs every Sunday in summer on the line of the Chemin de Fer de Provence which operates between Nice and Digne les Bains. The line is metre gauge and the steam train operates between Puget-Theniers and Touet les Var and then returns via Puget-Theniers to the medieval fortified town of Entrevaux. The loco seen, number 36, was built for the Chemins de Fer des Cotes du Nord in Brittany. My video was filmed on September 6th.2009 and I apologise for some shaky camerawork as the camera was hand held throughout.

Thanks very much Vic, it certainly is wonderful scenery and she's a plucky little loco.

[@acw71000]

Thanks, the steadtshot on the camera helped plus I wasn't getting blown around by any wind.

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Mike, and yes, I can certainly recommend a visit to that area.

[@acw71000]

Thanks very much Bob, it was a strange feeling filming steam in that heat, but I'm not complaining of course!!

[@acw71000]

Great filming Austin. Locos like this have a charm all of their own. Not to mention the surrounding scenery. Great "pace" to this video. Chris

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, we did indeed have a good time, sadly no main line steam where I was but this is a nice little loco and a good day out.

Another excellent production Austin. It really does look like a great place to visit. Thanks for sharing. Mike

Génial! J'adorerais faire un beau de chemin dans un train tracté par une loco à vapeur. La vapeur, je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais pour moi ça a toujours un gout d'aventure, de mystérieux...

Ma davvero un tempo era alimentato a pigne?

[@acw71000]

Non so se era interamente di pigne ma c'erano certamente un numero nel fuoco!
