A trip in the train
| (Click on a picture to get a full-size one) |
After several years of doubt and incertainty, where we were wondering if one day if the touristic train of the Puisaye-Forterre Land would be able to run again,
it was with a great pleasure that we heard about the reopening of the line during 1998 summer.
We really wanted to take part to that event.
In the program, a trip Toucy - Villiers - Toucy on a 18 km distance, at the speed of 20 km per hour.

On Sunday September 1998, short time before the departure ... The X3814 is ready for its first Sunday trip. |

As soon as the Picasso left the station,
it goes through the Poyaudine countryside.
The driver's cab is located at the top of the train, which allows the passengers to have a large seeing in front of the train. |
| A sign points out the next level crossing (PN 47).
During this time, in the train, a charming lady offers us a leaflet, showing nice places to see in the area, and gives some sweets to the children and ... to the others. |
