25 February 2002, Argentière, France Waiting for the train, these members of the mountain tribes seem to have been trained to survive the dangers of their native habitat as they are sitting on the platform edge. Their training pays off. They know that the trains arriving at their platform do arrive from the Chamonix direction only, and spotting the train arriving in the distance they exercice this well-trained step backwards in order to keep the train at least at arm's length.
