Our history
1906
The Martigny-Châtelard makes history as it climbs the slopes of the Vallée du Trient. The birth of the train that would become the Mont-Blanc Express.
1910
For the first time, the Martigny-Orsières railway links the Rhône valley to the Entremont. It was enthusiastically welcomed by the local population, who soon referred to the line simply as “MO”.
1996
The Z800 series enters service, the first rolling stock interoperable between France and Switzerland: the Mont-Blanc Express now crosses the border without a change of train. The company qualifies as the sole rack-and-pinion bogie overhaul unit for SNCF.
2000
The first year of the new millennium also saw the creation of Transports de Martigny et Régions SA (TMR) from the merger of the Martigny-Châtelard and Martigny-Orsières railways.
2018
OCTOFER opens in Martigny, the competence centre dedicated to railway bogie overhaul: a 3,250 m² workshop and an investment of 18 million Swiss francs.
