Chemins de fer du Beaujolais 0-6-0 Locomotives in France
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 1 (Locobase 15839)
Data from " Pinguely des chemins de fer du Beaujolais", [
], last accessed on 4 May 2014. Works numbers 70-76, 79-80 in 1899
Esssentially a stock six-coupled tank from this small Lyons builder. Except for the lighter weight, the Beaujolais nonet was Identical to four tank engines exported to Ethiopia in the same period (Locobase 9976) and the Loire locomotives in Locobase 10850.
According to Le Petit Anjou website, one of the nine operated on the Beaujolais until 1934. During the Nazi occupation of France after June 1940, the Third Reich's construction arm Organization Todt requisitioned the engine to support construction of the Atlantic Wall in the Baie de Somme region.
