My trip to Tunisia |

SNCFT - Tunisia The only tourist train of Tunisia, the Lézard Rouge, runs from Metlaoui to Seldja through breathtaking landscape. The coaches of the trains once formed the "Royal Train" of the Bey of Tunis. Metlaoui-Seldja, 25-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
SNCFT - Tunisia The Lézard Rouge tourist train makes two stops between Metlaoui and Seldja, just for taking pictures of the fantastic landscape. And of the train itself, of course... Metlaoui-Seldja, 25-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
SNCFT - Tunisia This is the main reason that a railway line was built between western Tunisia and the coast: Phosphate ore. Probably this wagon was broken and taken out of the train. Mezzouna, 24-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
SNCFT - Tunisia In Seldja trucks dump the phosphate ore close to the railway line. Bulldozers then put it in railway cars again. Although it looks a toy truck is dumping the ore directly in the wagon, there is some 100 meters distance between them! Seldja, 25-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |

SNCFT - Tunisia Collection of old standard gauge freight cars stabled next to the platforms at Bizerte. Many museum railways in Europe would love to have these! Bizerte, 30-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
SNCFT - Tunisia Wagons in departmental use, stabled at Gabes. The left one shows "Ganz" and "1900" on its frame. Could it indeed be 106 years old? Gabes, 28-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |

SNCFT - Tunisia This is not a museum railway in Europe, but just an old tank car of the Tunisian Railways! Unfortunately we could not find an indication of the year it was built. Bizerte, 30-10-2006 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
