- Le Coni’fer Heritage railway was once part an international line connecting France and Switzerland, Today it is home to a collection of historic steam and diesel locomotives along with some interesting items of rolling stock. The railway's literature describes a trip along the CONI'FER as a reminder of the gentle pace of yesteryear, when passengers had time to admire the pastures and forests of Haut-Doubs.

What a wonderfully romantic and nostalgia-inducing engine! I'd have it in my back yard if I could! Thanks again TIm for these super videos!
Hi, thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you enjoyed riding with this beautiful old engine through the pretty French countryside.
Excellent video, well done.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂.
G'day Tim, another great 2-part journey enjoyed thankyou. This line is included in the itinerary RTC are running in May 2023, on which I have made a booking; can't wait to see it in person. I spotted the 52-Class half hidden at the end of this trip, it is planned to use this Loco on our visit. I have just returned from Longreach (QLD) on the "Spirit of the Outback" Train. Cheers for now Puf'n-Pete.
Hi Pete, I wrote a longer reply, but it disapeared without being delivered. I bet you are looking forward to this tour and I hope you enjoyed your "Spirit of the Outback" adventure. Cheers. Tim.
Hello Peter, this the message that disapeared, this was a really good tour even though two days were lost due to a hot weather steam ban, I'm tempted to join one of the two similar Swiss tours next year, probably the later one, I'll make my choice after I've completed the "Highlights of Germany, Harz Mountains, Saxony and Baltic Coast" & "Steam in Wolsztyn and North Western Poland" tours. The Cuba tour is still tempting, but the eye watering price is a bit off-putting. You'll enjoy the Le Coni’fer train, it's a really friendly railway, nothing is too much trouble. I hope you enjoyed the "Spirit of the Outback" and "Qantas Museum" as much as I did.
As always, it's nice to hear from you and let me know when you are in the UK, maybe we can meet up again. Cheers. Tim.
Another good one, Tim - but then they all are! Thank you.
Thank you Jim, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride 🙂.
Lovely trip. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

Thanks again Tim
I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride 🙂.
Delightful!
I'm pleased you enjoyed it 🙂.
Hi Tim! This is a really wonderful trip again 👍. I hope you have become the Mail with photos from today and yesterday. Early in the morning, snow is falling by us, that's nice. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. I did see the photos of the snow in your garden, it looks really pretty. Take care and stay warm. Cheers. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Very beautiful scenery.
@@jeromebano1125 I'm pleased you enjoyed it 🙂.
Awesome footage!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride 🙂.
Now this was a boiling hot day!!! The trees gave some much needed respite
Hi, it's nice to hear from you. It was hot, I enjoy editing these videos, they are a nice reminder of a good holiday, even if everything didn't go to plan, I still enjoyed myself.
Very nice video. 👍
Thank you 😊.
Weer een mooie video. Fijn dat er Driver's Eye Views zijn. Opmerkelijk de weg langs deze spoorlijn . Een eenzame wandelaarster. Een DR-locomotief BR 52.
Bedankt, ik ben blij dat je genoten hebt van de rit. Het lijkt mogelijk om over het grootste deel van de lengte naast de spoorlijn te lopen en 52 8163-9 is een echte bonus.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Was it initially a double track, Tim ?
@@Han-wh5ie Hi, this was originally an international route between Switzerland and France, although it was eventually rendered less important with the construction of alternative routes between the two countries. The formation does look to have been built to accommodate 2 tracks, although I have no proof that a second track ever existed, maybe someone with a better knowledge of the route can fill in the missing details.

Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it 🙂.

Another wonderful day out thanks tim, You did not get my last reply re england winning the t20 world cup they were magnificent cheers bob.🥇🏏🍺👍👍👏👏😁
Hi Robert, occasionally comments and replies go missing, sometimes they turn up years later, a bit like letters delivered by the British postal service. It’s always nice to be on the winning side, even better when the win is deserved. I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, it's nice to visit some of the lesser known heritage railways 🙂.
