I love my country. The region where I live is the 2nd largest in Switzerland in terms of forest area. Almost 46% is occupied by forest. Wood is used for many things. What is that stacked so high ? It's railway sleepers. Established since 1897, the company, which is located a few miles from my home, is the only company on the Swiss market to manufacture railway sleepers. About 100'000 pieces are produced every year since 1905. The idea of the founder of the sawmill to set up in the region was to get closer to the source material, i.e. hardwood.
Here are another pics. Enjoy !

Interesting read. I checked out Corbat Site and here in the USA we refer to those stacked wooden pieces as cross ties. What really threw me off was the plates used on the ends to inhibit stress cracks. Similar plates are used to manufacture building truss here. Thanks for posting the extra pictures.

A Bullitt for a Vintage Watch

Still unpublished pics from a little drive the other day at Longines in St-Imier (CH). I had gone to pick up an old watch that has been in the family since 1945. It has been completely restored and the watch factory even gave me a certificate of authenticity. It was the occasion to take the Bullitt out for a little trip to 😎.

18 months in Bullitt

It was a special day this Friday, April 17. The "Mustangueurs" were celebrating the 56th birthday of their icon and I was celebrating the 18 months of my Bullitt. It was the occasion of a very small trip (partly for a good cause). How sweet is the sound of this V8 😎 !

was just looking at your first posts from 18 months ago. Switzerland has some beautiful scenery!

A Land So Beautiful to drive...

Today, my Bullitt recharged its battery. A little over a hundred kilometers through the Jura in Switzerland, which is so beautiful to drive. Have a nice evening and take care of yourself!
