French Alps : "ligne De La Maurienne"

Hello everyone !

Today I come here to propose a new route, the "Ligne de la Maurienne", between Chambéry and Modane (and Italy). It is part of the European Rail freight corridor No 6 (https://www.railfreightcorridor6.eu/RFC6/web.nsf/OnePager/index.html)
This route is really varied. Between Chambéry and St Avre La Chambre, the line is fairly flat (max ramp 12/1000) , and the speed of trains can reach 160km/h.


E186 for Euro Cargo Rail (DB) train near Epierre.

And between St Avre la Chambre ans Modane the ramp il verry extreme : 32/1000.

There are 10 stations all along the route. The route is electrified in 1500V DC.
At Chambéry, there is the biggest roundhouse of France, with 108m of diameter.
