Yours Faithfully d'or this rare footage 👏👏👏👏👏
I always found it sad that SNCF removed the iconic orange livery. It looked so slick and very modern even in 2024!
À l’époque une sacré belle réussite bravo ceux qu ont fait ça
もし1973年のオイルショックが無かったら電気列車に変更されることなくガスタービン方式のままで開業してたかも。
Ah les beaux voyages en train à vapeur merci pour ce film
Interesting that this route went via Thessaloniki. Going via Sofia and through Bulgaria would have taken you into the Iron Curtain at that time.
0:43 song of Chronophonie - Jean Jacques Perry. First electronic music by Moog…
La pacific 231 jamai il y a d égale à cette machine la plus belle la plus rapide et tellement belle . Mon grand a été titulaire avec son chauffeur d une pacific ce qui fait que j en suis fou rien qu' à en parlé. Il me disait quand j était enfants que chaques équipes disaient que leurs machines étaient la meilleurs .
My grandma was from folkestone and lived near the railway and said they would scavenge by the line as things were thrown out as the train came into the station like food and silver cutlery etc
CZcams vidéo par SNCF réseau je voudrais voir toutes les vidéos de la dépose des premiers sillons de l G L sud-est par les trains travaux en vidéo merci G Vsus
Watched for the first 90 seconds really. Wonderful views of Chapelon's 231E Pacific in action. An incredibly rare upload. Many thanks.
Heu plutôt turbine a grande vitesse
Magnifique ce voyage moi j’avais une année j’ai fait toutes les lignes mais l’orient express n’existait plus et le voyage vapeur était en imagination ce voyage en train une vraie aventure
Quel documentaire sans queue ni tête.. aucune vue des compartiments, une espèce de délire...
Quel choix de musique!
Cela témoigne d'une époque où l'idéologie dominante à travers l'europe de l'ouest comme de l'est favorisait la collaboration entre les différents sociétés européens et non la concurrence comme maintenant, où ils se mettent les batons dans les roues comme maintenant... (Je me souviens de Turin en 2012, où j'étais obligé à faire la queue entre les gens qui allaient renouverler leur abonnement des trams urbains de Turin pour acheter mon billet de TGV Turin - Paris, parce que la FS ne voulait plus vendre les billets de sa concurrente, la SNCF, à ses guichets. La société des trams urbains l'a alors accepté, dans ses abri-bus ....)
I remember the great meals in the dining cars in the 1960s' it was still like this up to even the 1980s. The Golden arrow from London to Paris was also very luxurious. I used to take it in the 1960s because the planers in the winter were often delayed or even cancelled due to fog.
Channel packet herself!
One of the cultural changes is the extent to which people smoked at that time.
We used to holiday in Folkestone and in 1954 my brother and I were allowed to stay up late and were taken as a great treat to Folkestone Station to see the 'Golden Arrow' come through. We hung around on a deserted station until, suddenly, there was a mighty roar and a very large THING shot through the station and my little brother wet himself! My dad said it was called 'Le Fleche d'Or' in France. I thought this was very clever.
Those cars didn't half shake the tonic out of the gin!
Another thing that makes this film very rare is that is shows the connection between the Orient Express in Istanbul with the Ankara Express to Ankara and the Taurus Express onto Aleppo and Beirut.
I love how St Marks Square in Venice is so uncrowded. Oh to have been a tourist in the 1950s !
Very nice authentic, historical film on the Orient Express in the 1950s. I love that this film covers all of the original journey from Paris to Istanbul.
Que espectacular ese registro fílmico, del servicio de Mitropa de esa década.
instaBlaster.
"War torn & devastated France" never looked so lovely. Certainly better than today.
Just after the war beautiful West Country class still in southern railway guise in 1949. Very interesting documentary with upper class commentary .😎😎
You're absolutely right she's beautiful, but it's the WC/BoB's big sister, the Merchant Navy. (21C1 Channel Packet to be precise)
AT 0:50 the locomotive is 21C1, which is the first of the Merchant Navy class, later renumbered 35001.
Par les jours sans nuages à CALAIS Nous y voyions les côtes de SOUTHAMTHON .
Les rois du chateau d' EU étaient bêlges .
Je ne suis pas folle : LEOTARD fut bien le MAIRE DE FREJÛS . et le château d ' EÛ EN SEÎNE MARITÎME . au Tréport ou à Dieppe ?

Scrubbing the decks barefoot! "Down in Invicta's bowels", "Galley slaves", "a lowly motorcycle". Great stuff!
But "truelee demmocrettic" lol.
At 1.16 a beloved Aunt Louise aged 33 , at the Bar and in her prime. I wonder how many clothing coupons she had to have to buy that yellow outfit?
All those dead people.
Film en couleur, mais population monochrome 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Even though its French, and I can't understand French, its still good footage
Wonderful - a jolly good show. A shame it didn't include the onward connection to Paris.
There's another video entitled "From Calais to Paris", but it doesn't show anything interesting....

I can’t believe I’m seeing the Golden Arrow in action. It’s my favorite sleep story on the Calm app, and now I can visualize as I’m listening.
What a great way to travel! Way better than by air or Eurostar- And when you arrive, the noble Citroen Traction Avant! What could be better? A Citroen Traction Avant with the 1949 Sophia Loren in the passenger seat.
First train trip to Paris was in 1980. Train from Victoria was formed of 4-CEP units running non stop to Dover Western Docks. Crossed to Calais on a Sealink ferry. Had a burger and chips. Train to Paris was made of quite new Corail coaches and had a trolley service. At Amiens the loco was changed from diesel to electric. About 7 hours travelling time, quite an adventure.
@@ianhelps3749 Sounds like a great trip! Was that the Night Ferry?
@@lawrencelewis8105 no, but the Nighr Ferry was still running, in last year of operation. After the Night Ferry was withdrawn, the night boat from Dover to Dunkirk still ran for a few more years.
Fantastic.
Trippy.
The Mr Cholmondley-Warner commentary and inappropriate music is hilarious.
"Paris, the most glorious city in the World". Compared to modern times, for a person who had money and didn't get sick probably had the better life experience.
Maybe once but but not anymore. Never seen so much begging which is sad rats wondering around.
@@dulls8475 Yes: very sad: probably worse in Paris than London also.
@@elrjames7799 I have never seen whole families begging until i went to Paris. London is entirely different. Place de La Concord had rats running everywhere in the open.
I think the loco is 'Channel Packet', appropriately.
Merchant Navy Class 21C1 (British Railways No 53001) Channel Packet.

I see the locomotive still has it's Southern Railway number on the buffer beam after nationalisation.

Bill Cobbett , you would have thought they would have had all the stock painted in BR colours the day after nationalisation.
