La Traction, Heritage railway museum in Montfaucon, Switzerland.
The museum contains vintage locomotives, including two restored meter-gauge Mallet engines acquired from Portugal and various passenger carriages for special train excursions.
The museum's collection includes locomotive E206, manufactured by Henschel & Son in 1913, which operated on Portuguese railways until 1985 before restoration in Germany.
La Traction preserves railway heritage through volunteer efforts, operating special train journeys on three routes across the Jura region of Switzerland.
Visitors can experience historical rail travel during scheduled excursions from Glovelier to Saignelégier, Saignelégier to La Chaux-de-Fonds, and Tavannes to La Noirmont.
The organization maintains a rare Krocodil locomotive E4004, originally built for Spanish Railways, representing a particular design of electric locomotives.
