- It is in the Pyrenees that we meet for this new video, more precisely on the Bayonne - Toulouse line. For those who don't know, the Pyrenees is a mountain range in south western France, separating the Liberian peninsula from the rest of Europe.
It was in 1913 that the relatively early electrification for the time of this line began, at 12 kV - 16.66 Hz due in particular to the steep gradient of the line, and the large number of pilgrim trains heading to Lourdes. It was only from 1923 that the more typically French 1.5 kV - DC appeared. Astoundingly, many of the original catenary posts and yokes are still standing and in service today. Also note the way the catenary lines are mounted in the curves - an older slanted technique which requires much more skill to accomplish. There are only a few lines left in Switzerland and France that have maintained this older design.
We will cover the 321 km today aboard a Régiolis Z51500 which will easily tackle the Capverne ramp and its 33‰ (3.3%) ramps.
Still partly equipped with manual block signals, you will be able to observe some of the last mechanical signals still in service in France. As you will see, many stations and branch lines connecting to our main artery are unfortunately closed today, to our great regret.
The beauty of the landscapes crossed by this atypical line in France and not yet available on CZcams strongly encouraged us to make this video, we hope that you will enjoy it and that you will tell us in the comments what you thought of it.
We wish you a pleasant trip through the Pyrenees!
For those of you who only enjoy riding in the sun, you might want to skip ahead. After the first hour there is a lot more sunlight.

I can't get over the beautiful scenery. It's so nice to see France by rail without leaving the comfort of my living room. 😊😁
Merci pour ce partage,
La ligne passe au bout de mon jardin et je prends plaisir à voir passer les quelques trains quotidiens
Glad to see there's still parts of Europe so unspoilt, lush and green
Iberian Peninsula! Great video as always! Puyoo station! Crossing Adour and Bearn, touching Armagnac and Bigorre! Beautiful Landscape, till the station of Toulouse Matabiau! The Pink City! The Capitole City, the heart of Occitania!
Every time I watch your videos i really enjoy seeing
the beautiful scenery and countryside of France
from the cab view of the train this is really awesome
as always thank you for the ride through the very
beautiful countryside of France.🇨🇵🚈🚋🚋🚋🇨🇵
Chouette vidéo comme d'hab !!! Plus je regarde tes vidéos de nos lignes Françaises, plus j'ai hâte de voir la suite !!
beautiful...calming relaxing train
Great video, lots of interest.
Merci bcp pour ce beau voyage longeant le nord de la Pyrennée de Bayonne à Toulouse , ..la sirène vigile de la loco ..nous met parfaitement à bord du train ...et en position "conducteur" svp ..🚉 merci bcp
Merci beaucoup, comme d'habitude ! ;)
merci pour le partage de cette vidéo
Another GREAT video!!!!! thanks for sharing..
Before the creation of SNCF, this section was owned by Compagnie du Midi. One of its specificities was the early investment in electrification of their railways. Their first 12kV 16,66 Hz current is close to the 15kV 16,66 Hz now used in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
However, because of the rival companies, they were later forced to change to 1,5 kV DC.
The unique catenary shape that tilts in the curves is also a heritage of this company. It can also be seen on the line from Bordeaux to Irun.
Very interesting, thank you
Thanks for your explanation. I was wondering why the posts and catenaries looked so odd and fragile on this route,
quite unlike the usual equipment the SNCF uses for electrification.
@@andrewnorth6472 this catenary type is named... Westinghous which is almost the same as the one first used in USA when they got their first electric line.
Voilà un coin que je connais très bien puisqu'à habitant Tarbes. Original de découvrir mon département via la vue depuis le chemin de fer :)
Thanks for sharing great videos as always.
Superbe video de la ligne du Piémont Pyrénéen.
Avez-vous prévu de filmer d’autres jolis trajets en France que l'on n'a pas encore vu ?
Comme par exemple :
- Intercité Bordeaux - La Rochelle - Nantes
- Intercité Nantes - Vierzon - Lyon
- TER Perpignan - Villefranche Vernet-les-Bains
- TER Toulouse - Auch
- TER Bayonne - Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Porc
- TER Pau - Oloron - Bedous
- Leman Express Annecy ou Saint-Gervais ou Evian-les-Bains - Annemasse - Genève
Bonne continuation
Merci! Oui, bien d’autres choses à venir.
Great video and views 👍
Thanks
Hi!I love watching France!Beautiful view from the cabin!
Saludos desde los Antiguos S. Cruz, Argentina. Hermosos videos, mucha belleza de paisajes. Abrazo a la distancia. 😊
AMAZING VIDEO!
Watching this video again, I went to read the history of the line! It is no less important than the line that connects Sete to Bordeaux via Toulouse. From Bayonne, across the Bearn you reach Tarbes and Lourdes up to Lannemezan and Saint Gaudens. Stations like Puyoo and Pau have historic 19th-century canopies. You can see how it is a historical line, but it was designed to connect the centers of the Pyrenean foothills! Ahhh the Pyrenees what a spectacle! Few trains though! and then the arrival in the Occitan capital! The Pink City! Truly world class! One of my favorite places! Very good!

Nice trip my friend
C'est magnifique, comme toujours ! Est-ce qu'on pourrait savoir quel sera le prochain ? 😊
24:06 Goodness, a semaphore signal!
Still watching this video and loving this route and its scenery.
красота😊
Very enjoyable and totally relaxing, if you get a fan and lean to the right or left 😂
😂
Le trajet en train offre une occasion unique d'observer le paysage pittoresque de la France, permettant une exploration fluide du pays💓
It's so beautiful view. The other side of France. Thank you so much to Lorirocks777 channel for this content... ❤❤❤❤❤
Maravilha ver a França e com trens gosto muito de ver esses tens
Trés belle video , et maintenant le retour a Bayonne ou autres route ?
I find it interesting that trains in France drive on the left! Love your videos btw 10/10 ❤
Thank you!
Excellent video. I really enjoy France. Switzerland is gorgeous but almost too perfect. I like a little disorganazation. Some hedges or lawns that need trimming. A roof that needs to be fixed. France feels more lived in
I know what you mean :)
I wonder why a section of the line after Tarbes (1:48:06 - 2:18:15) uses the 25kV AC catenary instead of the classic 1,5 kV DC one... Maybe a test of the catenary?
Or a long-term re-electrification of the line in 25kV AC?
Still DC but a new type allowing a changeover to AC at a later stage.
AMO os trens
Complimenti per il video 😊😊😊😊 posso chiederti come riesci ad aggiungere il contachilometri e il tacchimetro?😊😊
Nice video! What's ironic there is a city in the U.S. state of New Jersey called Bayonne (pronounced bay-own). LOL. 😁
😂
is that surprising? The US has many cities "stolen" from Europe. Can't blame them though, thousands of new city names wouldn't be an easy task
You need to edit the title, it's Toulouse, not Touhouse. Thanks for sharing btw
Thanks
Probablement l'automoteur (Intercités) le plus éclaté au sol qu'il m'ait été donné de prendre alors que je l'ai pris seulement 1h30 alors je n'ose même pas imaginer 3h00… Malgré cela, je vous remercie pour cette nouvelle vidéo de grande qualité 😁
Belle balade dans le sud ouest. A certain endroit, il va falloir le débroussailleur 😂
🤣
Surtout entre Pau, Lourdes et Tarbes.
Tres belle video, comme toujours, mais vraiment dommage de toutes ces petites gares de campagne desaffectees.

Tell me, please, do you know what happened to the channel Moveora?
Was that the French one with the driver talking?
@@lorirocks777 There were walks through the cities of Switzerland and other countries on that channel, but it disappeared. I'm not sure if it was French or not. No one was talking there, only music was playing at the beginning of the videos. I wonder what happened to that channel because I liked it.
C'est étrange qu’une partie de la ligne soit réelectrifée en 25 kV CA.
Est ce que la ligne sera réélectrifiée entièrement en 25 kV CA ?
La ligne n’est nul part électrifiée en 25kV CA
1:45:00 😊
Maybe a bit too long comment - but the journey also lasted long 😉😄: it started rather unspectacularly - apart from the fact that the first section was initially built with two tracks, which you can clearly see in the very first tunnel, for example, and on most of the bridges: there was enough space for a second track... !
But it was probably removed a long time ago because the railway embankment is heavily overgrown in many places 🙄
Which, by the way, applies to a large part of the route and some train stations: the unkempt impression with grass and bushes probably comes from the fact that the French railways, like us in Germany, no longer run weed-killing trains. The chemistry used is rather unpopular today 🤔
The route is not very busy, there were relatively few oncoming trains in the other direction, there were also few freight cars and no freight trains at all...
Maybe I misunderstood the video description - but I didn't discover any old signaling technology during the entire trip... or didn't pay proper attention 😄
Otherwise interesting: probably storks' nests on some catenary masts at the beginning of the journey and the many insects, which were on the move in keeping with the time of year and ensured that the windshield wipers were used more often at a speed of 160 km/h 😂
And as already mentioned: Chapters at each train station would make it easier to skip forward or back if you wish...
Otherwise, thank you very much for this trip and kind regards
🙏👍👋
Thanks for your comment. Switzerland has weed killing trains that use 100% hot water or steam to kill the weeds.
There were at least 2 stations with mechanical departure signals, however they're small compared to their German counterparts, so easy to miss.
As you could imagine, going through the whole video to create timestamps is very time consuming, but if anybody wants to help by doing that and putting it into a comment, I can copy it into the description.
@@lorirocks777 Would you like help with the creation or identification of chapters...? Why not, in my case I have to wait until the end of this third of the year - until I am in my well-deserved retirement 😊
@@wandajackson3410 Sounds good! There is already somebody who has done a great job of making timestamps for most of my videos - he usually posts a comment with them about 2 - 4 weeks after the video is up. But feel free to join him!
How exciting! Well.. all the best for the last few months of work you have left!
ça ne va pas un peu trop vite ?
Pareil je trouve la vitesse un poil excessive !
@@niconos35 you can always run the video at half speed.
@@roygrafton6322😂😂 I‘ve never heard that the train drives to fast, the most people wanted mostly to drive faster (or use the double speed function in the CZcams options)
1:40:56 !!
