Driver’s Eye View (France) - Le Train Rouge - Rivesaltes to Axat - Part 1 Rivesaltes to Maury

Le Train Rouge (The Red Train) runs between Rivesaltes in Roussillon and Axat in Southern Aude, following the Agly and Maury rivers the train passes through a varied and interesting landscape starting in a wide fertile valley with vineyards covering the lower regions before the valley narrows and the vines give way to the dramatic scenery of Corbières Massif and the forests of the upper valley.
In 1878 “La Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi et du Canal latéral à la Garonne” began building a railway line in the Eastern Pyrénées to connect Carcassonne with Perpignan. The route used by today’s “Le Train Rouge” was complete in 1904. As with many lines built in lightly populated areas, it fell victim to improved road transport, eventually falling into disuse in the late 1980’s.
In 1992 three railway enthusiasts formed an association to resurrect a train service along the route, by 2001 they had succeeded raising sufficient funds, volunteers and rolling stock to run a train service. TPCF - Train du Pays Cathare et du Fenouillèdes (Fenouillèdes is the Catalan name for this region) run today's train service, the friendly staff and volunteers would love to welcome you aboard one of their trains, but if you can't make it please sit back and enjoy a virtual ride through the beautiful French/Catalonian Countryside.

In the middle of this month I'm setting off to Eastern Germany to spend two weeks filming steam in the snow.

@@Timsvideochannel1 Neverjetno! 1960? Takrat sem bil star 1 leto. Menim, da se bo zgodovina železnic vrnila, če za druge ne, za turiste. Še posebej me veseli, da je toliko mladih navdušenih nad železnico in fotografirajo ob progi. Sam nisem bil železničar, nazadnje sem kot predšolski otrok občudoval vlake na bližnji železniški postaji v Celju, Slovenija, potem pa sem delal nekaj čisto drugega, v pisarni, kjer se je zadnjih 25 let ves čas mudilo in često nisem pogledal čez okno, da bi opazil, da cel dan dežuje. Po nedavni upokojitvi pa sem se znova navdušil nad železnico. V Sloveniji imamo upokojenci javni prevoz zastonj. Komaj čakam izkaznico upokojenca, da si to zagotovim. Prevozil se bom na vseh progah v naši deželici, ki je majhna, a neverjetno slikovita. Ceste se ne morejo meriti z železnico. Pri enaki širini prometnih objektov železnica prevozi neverjetne količine tovora, zaslužek železnic je plačal vse tiste trase preko neokrnjene narave, ki ni primerna za kmetijstvo, predore in viadukte. Lep pozdrav vsem iz Slovenije.

Ujel sem vlak iz Pule v Ljubljano, bila je zelo slikovita vožnja z vlakom in pred kratkim sem spet obiskal, ozkotirne železnice so zdaj večinoma zaprte. Brezplačno potovanje z železnico je super, želim si, da bi bilo to na voljo v Angliji, čeprav so avtobusi za upokojence brezplačni. Upam, da boste uživali v brezplačnem potovanju po Sloveniji, to bi rad počel. pazi nase Tim.

Brings back memories of backpacking the area. For nerd points, Maury makes a great base to explore the foothills of the Pyrenees, while to the north, one has the Cathars castles (think 'Da Vinci code'), and places like the Gorge de Galamus. (Just watch out for the wild boar!) The vineyards seen along the trackside produce Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan reds, and the white grape Muscat. The area is famed for 'Vin du Natural' fortified wines that can age almost forever. (I recently drank one produced in 1927!) Nevertheless, a beautifully made video. Thank you!

There is a reason Rail Discoveries have dropped it from their holiday itinerary.
