Electric cogwheel locomotive He 2/2 # 1 of the La Rhune railway is shoving her train of two cars up the mountain on a grade of 25 % above the Col de Saint-Ignace station. The locomotive for 3000 V 50 Hz triphase current, running on 1 meter gauge with Strub rack system, was built by SLM and BBC in 1914, but the line opened in 1924 only. Next year, the "Petit Train de la Rhune" can celebrate 100 years!
