Picasso at Lumbres
Lumbres is the extent of operations of the Chemin de Fer Touristique de la Vallée l'Ar (CFTVA) which runs for a few km SW of Arques, near St Omer in NW France. The wonderful 'Picasso' railcar with the raised roof cab wasn't feeling well and was assisted by the twin-car 'Caravelle' railcar. SNCF still run freights 2-3 times a week to the cement works seen here, but always, we were told, during the hours of darkness. 9th May 2024.
