Steam train in Vevey, Switzerland

The steam train (Train à Vapeur Riviera Belle Epoque) chugs up the hill to the Blonay-Chamby rail museum. This is in the heights of Vevey, above Lake Geneva.

46.469530 N, 6.853151 E

Near the corner of Route du Rio Gredon and Chemin du Clos du Pra in Vevey, Switzerland (east of Lausanne, near Montreux toward the east end of Lake Geneva). This is a commuter rail line with more contemporary style electrically operated trains. They run the old style steam train on selected summer Sundays.

I haven't been to the museum at Chamby yet. We live along the tracks, and the video is taken from our kitchen window.

I thought that this scenery was very wonderful. And, small beautiful steam locomotive was deeply impressed on my mind. Thank you.

actually, the Blonay-Chamby is a narrow gauge railway. There is no SBB material, but onlay narrow gauge engines and coaches wich come from all over switzerland and other countries. Some of them are over a 100 years old!!

I visited this heritage museum on one of their steam Sundays back in 2004. I was greatly impressed. The variety of old SBB electric locos was amazing. Chatting to one of their volunteers from England even more surprising. Well worth a visit.

Really? Try and have a look! It's wonderful for people who like old trains!
