Ecomuseum of the Wonder Train

Description

Exhibition of old machines (SNCF historic steam and electric locomotives, trams, old cars). Presentation of the history of the SNCF railway line at Col de Tende, including a large model on the line.
For several years, the volunteer members of the Breil sur Roya Ecomuseum Association have been gathering rare pieces on the history of transportation in our region.

The collections of objects and models are presented inside the old carriages which have been refurbished for this purpose.

History, culture and heritage

One of the most beautiful pieces in the Écomusée des transports is the famous 141 R locomotive, which until 1968 hauled both the "Mistral" from Marseille to Nice and the omnibuses on the Breil line.
It stands alongside an authentic 1920s tramway and a Nice trolleybus from the 1960s. A vast 1:87 scale model of the Nice-Coni railway line is one of the most spectacular features of the Ecomuseum.
