    I am assuming the wine was transported after bottling?

    No, the historical mode of transport was wagons with two large barrels on them. There is a sketch of one of these wagons in the second post in this series and there are a variety of pictures throughout the posts which show these historical wagons.

    Infortunately most of this, if not all, is now what we could call "archeologic railroading"...:(Currently in France times are hard for those like me who don't find any thrill nor even interrest in bullet trains or other self-powered passenger train sets.:mad:

    The Gare du Nord, Beziers is no longer an active station. It was a terminus for two different secondary Iines. The two lines were once linked by a triangular junction which allowed trains to travel through Beziers without visiting the station. The through line disappeared relatively early to make way for a Co-operative building which in turn has given way to a modern block of apartments.

    This next post covers the line from Beziers to Penezas.
