Train des Pignes 2/3, Entrevaux ~ Nice (Chemins de Fer de Provence)
An awesome one carriage train ride from the mountains to the sea (2008).
Entrevaux ~ Puget-Théniers ~ Touët-sur-Var ~ Villars-sur-Var ~ Malaussène-Massouins ~ Plan-du-Var ~ Saint Martin-du-Var ~ Colomars/La Manda ~ Lingostière ~ La Madeleine ~ NICE, alongside the river 'Le Var'.
This private, 1-meter gauge railway runs between Nice and Digne-les-Bains,± 151 km/93 miles, and takes about 3½ hours. The track follows rushing rivers and steep-sided mountain valleys, many not accessible by car, and the view is magnificent.
In 1882 the military authorities gave their backing to the building of the railway. To cope with the steep terrain, the engineers adopted a metric-gauge system. In 1902 the construction work involved more than four hundred labourers, took nearly two years and had to deal with rock falls, floods and subsidence. The railway line finally arrived in Nice in 1911. In 1935 the line successfully reopened with diesel railcars replacing the steam locomotives. In 1967 the French government withdrew its involvement in the service. Thanks to the determined involvement of the local population, the line continued to operate.The stations are old, tiny and personal, with everything on a human level.
The origin of the train's nickname: 'Train des Pignes' (Pine Cone Train) is unclear.
1. The Train des Pignes was so-named because of the soot that covered the locomotives, making them look like the bottom of a traditional Italian cooking pot, named 'pignata'.
2. The steam locomotive was fuelled by pine cones (pignes) -- very unlikely considering the speed at which they would be consumed.
3. The pinecones were used as tinder to start the steam engines.
4. City folk used the train to take home pine cones on a Sunday.
5. The train travelled so slowly that the passengers could get out onto the trackside to pick up pine cones.
6. For the pine cones the crew used to stop to collect for pine nuts (edible seeds of pines).
7. Elderly women collected pine cones in the hills, usually the large cones from a pine called the pigne noir. They would collect the pine cones in large bags and leave the bags beside the railway tracks. It was a common sight for these bags of pine cones to be put onto the train as it passed, to be transported to the remote houses and farms for fuel.
8. Finally, the nickname comes from a miracle that happened one Christmas night when a level-crossing keeper who was alone with his sick child had run out of firewood. The crew of a night train stopped to give him some coal and then when the locomotive itself started to run short of fuel the pine cones on the trees lining the track fell directly into its tender enabling it .

Garmisch-Partenkirchen (German pronunciation: [ˈɡaʁmɪʃ paʁtn̩ˈkɪʁçn̩]) is a mountain resort town in Bavaria, southern Germany. It is the administrative centre of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the Oberbayern region, and the district is on the border with Austria. Nearby is Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, at 2,962 m (9,718 ft.).
Garmisch (in the west) and Partenkirchen (in the east) were separate towns for many centuries, and still maintain quite separate identities.
Partenkirchen originated as the Roman town of Partanum on the trade route from Venice to Augsburg and is first mentioned in the year A.D. 15. Its main street, Ludwigsstrasse, follows the original Roman road.
Garmisch is first mentioned some 800 years later as Germaneskau (German District), suggesting that at some point a Teutonic tribe took up settlement in the western end of the valley.
During the late 13th century, the valley, as part of the County of Werdenfels, came under the rule of the prince-bishops of Freising and was to remain so until the mediatization of 1803. The area was governed by a prince-bishop's representative known as a Pfleger (caretaker or warden) from Werdenfels Castle situated on a crag north of Garmisch.
The discovery of America at the turn of the 16th century led to a boom in shipping and a sharp decline in overland trade, which plunged the region into a centuries-long economic depression. The valley floor was swampy and difficult to farm. Bears, wolves and lynxes were a constant threat to livestock. The population suffered from periodic epidemics, including several serious outbreaks of bubonic plague. Adverse fortunes from disease and crop failure occasionally led to a witch hunt. Most notable of these were the trials and executions of 1589–1596, in which 63 people — more than 10 percent of the population at the time — were burned at the stake or garroted.
Werdenfels Castle, where the accused were held, tried and executed, became an object of superstitious terror and was abandoned in the 17th century. It was largely torn down in the 1750s and its stones used to build the baroque Neue Kirche (New Church) on Marienplatz, which was completed in 1752. It replaced the nearby Gothic Alte Kirche (Old Church), parts of which predated Christianity and may originally have been a pagan temple. Used as a storehouse, armory and haybarn for many years, it has since been re-consecrated. Some of its medieval frescoes are still visible.
Garmisch and Partenkirchen remained separate until their respective mayors were forced by Adolf Hitler to combine the two market towns in 1935 in anticipation of the 1936 Winter Olympic games. Today, the united town is casually (but incorrectly) referred to as Garmisch, much to the dismay of Partenkirchen's residents. Most visitors will notice the slightly more modern feel of Garmisch while the fresco-filled, cobblestoned streets of Partenkirchen offer a glimpse into times past. Early mornings and late afternoons in pleasant weather often find local traffic stopped while the dairy cows are herded to and from the nearby mountain meadows.
During World War II Garmisch-Partenkirchen was a major hospital center for the German military. After the war, it was used by the U.S. military as a recreation center for U.S. military men stationed in Europe and their families.
