Ronchamp, Italy

The Ronchamp coal mine railway is a former industrial rail track serving the Ronchamp coal mines. It is located in the French department of Haute-Saône and the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The link between the mines' local rail network and the line from Paris-Est to Mulhouse-Ville runs near th

e Ronchamp station via a particular station connected to the main line. The station operated from the mid-19th century until 1958, when the mines closed. Following the closure, the station was dismantled. By the early 21st century, the site of the station had become overgrown, with only a few remnants of the installations and network remaining.
