The locomotive crew kindly allowed me to attach cameras to several different locations around their engine including the hand rail at the side of the cab giving a view similar to that enjoyed by the driver and fireman. The Chemins de fer du Jura is a group of railways in the canton of Jura in North-Western Switzerland. In this video we start from Les Bois with 0-4-4-0T Mallet Steam Locomotive No. E164 built by Henchel & Son at Kassel, Germany in 1905 for the Portuguese Railways (CP. Our beautifully restored locomotive is matched with a short rake of period carriages for the trip from Les Bois to La Chaux-de-Fonds, the line originally opened to traffic on 7th December 1892 and it was the region's longest line at line 25 km (15. 5 miles) with the final kilometre being laid along the streets of La Chaux-de-Fonds to reach the town-s main railway station. I would once again like to take this opportunity to thank the railway-s staff and volunteers for their help in shooting this video and making our visit a rewarding and memorable experience. Please sit back and join me for a trip along the line enjoying a view normally only available to the locomotive crew. This visit was part of the Railway Touring Company-s 2022 -Alpine Steam Express- Tour. To find out more about future European tours

Thank you for this lovely excursion! I've been able to hear trains _everywhere_ I've lived in my 63 years of existence. Sometimes, like where I live right now, I'm close enough to _feel_ the trains go rumbling by. There's nothing better than jiggly river silt valleys for that.
