Gate in Orthez...Love the detail of the little crabs..
September 1980 built 7287 catches a reflection in the Gave de Pau at Orthez with the 14:00 Toulouse-Irun inter-regional express (14143) on 16th September 2008. This area was once a stronghold for the 9300 “Jacquemins” but most trains are now in the hands of “Nez Cassé” or broken nose 7200’s. This delightful town, 40 km east of Pau in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department is a popular tourist spot, the ancent 14th Centaury “Pont Vieux” bridge and 12th, 14th and 15th century’s houses being the main draw.
