We drove up the Col de St-Ignace again in cloudy weather, but there was a slightly better opportunity to photograph the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune.

France not only offers fast trains but also very comfortable ones: Shortly after the departure from the valley station, the fer de la Rhune He 2/2, built in 1914 by the SLM/BBC, arrives with its first train of the day at Vmax 9 km/h the journey to the summit of La Rhune. The “valley station” refers to the Col de Saint-Ignace pass at 198 m above sea level. As you can see, the train also runs in bad weather. April 15, 2024 

We drove up the Col de St-Ignace again in cloudy weather, but there was a slightly better opportunity to photograph the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune. Despite the bad weather, an He 2/2 leaves the Ignace train station and heads to the LaRhune summit. (We didn't go up again in this weather, but instead looked at the surrounding area and later Spain). April 15, 2024 

After the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune He 2/2 took the guests to the summit with the first train of the day, the train now returns empty to the valley.

One of the three-phase HG 2/2 trains reaches the valley station at the Col de Saint-Ignace pass at 198 m above sea level in Kärze.

Approximately in the middle of the route, our train traveling downhill crosses two trains traveling uphill, although only one can be seen here.
