    This Wagon describes the history and role of the Cerbère railway station, in the transshipment of goods, especially citrus, between the French and Spanish railways due to the difference in the width of the tracks. The work of women, known as "transbordeuses d'oranges", who loaded and unloaded citrus fruits by hand under difficult conditions, including the use of candles for lighting before electricity, stands out. The station played a key role in the economy and daily life of Cerbère until the 1970s.

    Very helpful employee can provide information about all issues:

    Until 1965, oranges harvested in Spain were repackaged from Spanish to French railway wagons in Cerbere. The reason: the French rails were narrower than the Spanish ones. A hard job that was predominantly carried out by women.
