I’ll stop my rant here, because we’re arriving in a sacred place for French railways: Culmont-Chalindrey. A town literally created for the railway!
- Role: journey waypoint
- In the video: The train stops at this railway town, once a big depot for steam and diesel engines, and reverses direction; the town still has a maintenance depot.
- Why it matters: The stop the video dwells on most between its two ends: a town built by and for the railway.
