Two weeks after a fascinating visit to Portugal’s last metre-gauge railway and now another chance to experience rare narrow gauge (NG) travel, this time on one of only three NG lines that are still operated by French state operator SNCF, the only one that is not electrified – the Chemin de Fer du Blanc-Argent (B-A) in Central France.
Like the Vouga system in Portugal, the metre-gauge B-A is a rather remarkable survivor, and is also one which is not catering for primarily tourists, as do SNCF’s famous Train Jaune in the Pyrenees and the Mont-Blanc Express route from St. Gervais-les-Bains to Vallorcine and across the border to Martigny in Switzerland.
