CMB - France Motor car 44 and its driving trailer prepare to descend from Montenvers to Chamonix again.

CMB - France Steam locomotive 6 of the Chemin de Fer du Montenvers was built 1923. Three (all?) of the class still exist, but none seems to be in working order. The line was electrified in 1954 and at that time new motor cars took over from the steam locomotives. Chamonix, 20-01-2008 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
