Spring 2003: my first visit to the #CFHA, the Chemins de fer de la Haute Auvergne 🇫🇷. On board the #GentianeExpress heritage railcar #X2403 between Riom-ès-Montagnes and Lugarde at the heart of the Massif Central mountains. A truly beautiful ride. #PastTrainTrips

Rural France 🇫🇷, as remote as it gets: sparsely populated #Cantal is home to the lovely #GentianeExpress of the “Chemins de Fer de la Haute-Auvergne”. Former #SNCF #X2403 railcar, built in the early 1950s, was out on the scenic line when we visited in April 2003.
