Les Rousses
My local contact assured me that this building was formerly an engine shed; but as this railway (see image 25796 for the surviving Swiss side) was electrified from its opening in 1921, this seems unlikely - perhaps a station? The French part of this railway had a short life, being closed from 1940 to 1948 due to war, and closed totally in 1958. A 1999 proposal to re-open from Lacure to Les Rousses was rejected on cost-benefit grounds.
