Station of La Plaine, on the Genève-Bellegarde cross-border link, seen from the rear of TER 96582/3 to Lyon-Perrache.

This is actually the very last/first station in Swiss territory.

Whereas 1.5kV DC catenary is doubtless very French, tracking looks (and definitely sounds :-) very Swiss...

The French-Swiss border is located some 100m West of that station, within a tight curve.

La Plaine (Frontière).
