Petit train d'Artouste

As Petit train d' Artouste is referred to a 10 km long narrow gauge railway with the extremely narrow track width of 500 mm, which runs isolated from the rest of the rail network in the French Pyrenees. She served in the 1920s as a working railway in the construction of a hydroelectric power station, then from 1932 to tourism as a panorama train in the Ossau valley between the Lac d' Artouste and the Pic -de- la- Sagette. The starting point is located at 2000 m altitude and is reached by a cable car.

The first operation led the Southern Railway, then from 1938, the state railway. The operation is carried out, only in the summer months, with small diesel locomotives.
