Black Line (Southern Indian Ocean Islands)

The Black Line, also known as the Two Peninsulas Line (: Ligne Noire or Ligne des Deux Presqu'îles) is a rail line of the Kerguelen rail network and connects the Gare de La-Société-de-Géographie and Gare de Port-Joffre with each other as well as with the Blue Line through Gare de jonction de La-Société-de-Géographie and Gare de jonction de Port-Joffre.

History
The Black Line was opened in 1995 together with the rest of the Kerguelen rail network and replaced the Scale Shuttle bus that completed the route before the opening of the rail line. It was opened simultaneously with the Blue Line and the Green Line.

Rolling stock
The rolling stock of the Black Line consists of three diesel railcars, two of which are in standard use and one of which is spare. These have been painted for recognisability.

The railcars are named La Société de Géographie, Joffre and Foch.
