Railway Sleeper

In 1860, a train engineer imagined a railroad linking Nice to Grenoble. Today, the tracks from Nice to Digne are the last remains of this dream, preserved only from oblivion by a handful of people. These last men standing are the bearers of an utopia, the essence of a myth : breaking through the Alps.
