Pamiers–Limoux railway
The Pamiers–Limoux railway was a 63-kilometre standard-gauge line in the Aude and Ariège departments of southwestern France. It connected Pamiers with Limoux, branching from the Portet-Saint-Simon–Puigcerdà line at Pamiers and joining the Carcassonne–Rivesaltes line at Limoux. Built by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi, the line opened in two stages in 1898. It was a single-track, non-electrified railway with a maximum incline of about 15%.
The line was operated by Midi from 1883 to 1937 and then by SNCF from 1938 to 1975, after which it was unclassified. The last section ceased operations in 1973.
Today, part of the former railway has been turned into a greenway. The Mirepoix–Moulin-Neuf section was transformed into a voie verte, and together with the Moulin-Neuf–Lavelanet section it forms the 38-km Chemin des Filatiers.
