History
The show, created and produced by François Gall et Bernard d'Abrigeon, was broadcast since 12 January 1987 on Antenne 2, and after on France 2.

In July 2011, the France 5 channel decided to relaunch the program with a new formula: the show was presented by an on-screen journalist, Philippe Gougler, who follows a real railway journey and meets train users.

For Philippe Gougler, also co-author of the documentaries, the goal was to be less "contemplative and heritage" and to give a "human dimension", curious, sensitive and caring, through meetings, "attention given to the other" and the presence of a facilitator on the ground.
