    So this is the Ligne du Haut-Bugey from Bourg-en-Bresse to Bellegarde in the Jura Mountains. It’s 65km long.

    I didn’t know about this line until the above video. If this could be made for TSW2 it would be fantastic. It’s not a high speed line, 80 to 120 km/h range for the most part, but who cares about that when you have steep gradients and tight curves in stunning scenery?

    Yes! Next step after the LGV would surely be some French traditional lines and this seems a cool one, a lot of very good suggestions about french routes recently

    This looks incredible and I strongly support the addition of this route! TGV, local trains, and freight all on a beautifully picturesque single track line.

    Here is an HD cab view video (snippets of parts of the route):


    The Wikipedia has the gradient profile and speed diagram for the route too which is useful:

    Here is a complete cab ride (which appears to be a route learning video because it marks certain points):

    I feel like this thread needs a title with the line name. I feel like its general title might mean people pass over it.
