Lyon 0-4-0 Locomotives in France


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 9148)

Data from A. Sampite, Les Chemins de Fer a Faible Trafic en France (Paris: Baudry et Cie, 1888), p. 49. See also [link] for a history of these Freycinet Plan railways.

Within the Chemins de Fer d l'Interet Local des Bouches-du-Rhone network, this pair of small tanks were products of the firm that would soon be renamed Corpet. At that point, Corpet would supply two more, slightly different engines; see Locobase 9149.

After the Anjubault firm changed its name to Corpet, it supplied 2 more tank engines to the Chemins de Fer d l'Interet Local des Bouches-du-Rhone network. (The earlier locomotives are shown in Locobase 9148.) These were quite small, even tiny engines.
