Chemins de fer de l'Herault 0-6-0 Locomotives in France
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 101 (Locobase 9163)
Data from A. Sampite, Les Chemins de Fer a Faible Trafic en France (Paris: Baudry et Cie, 1888), p. 49. See also [
] for a history of these Freycinet Plan railways and Wikipedia [] (accessed 2 February 2008).
The Reseau d'Interet Local CF de l'HTrault was a network of secondary lines along the Gulf of Lyon in Southeast France. Sampite provides a summary of all the locomotives then in service on any of the lines and Wikipedia fills in the blanks. Note that none of the series of locomotives (Locobase 9159-9164) had either boiler pressure or grate area. The boiler pressure is an estimate.
These were used in the l'Herault's construction phase from 1872 to 1903.
Class 21 (Locobase 9160)
Data from A. Sampite, Les Chemins de Fer a Faible Trafic en France (Paris: Baudry et Cie, 1888), p. 49. See also [] for a history of these Freycinet Plan railways and Wikipedia: [] (accessed 2 February 2008).

This pair of Cail 6-coupleds actually came to l'Herault after the 4-axle locomotives. Once in service, they operated until 1916.
Class 31 (Locobase 9162)
Data from A. Sampite, Les Chemins de Fer a Faible Trafic en France (Paris: Baudry et Cie, 1888), p. 49. See also [] for a history of these Freycinet Plan railways and Wikipedia [] (accessed 2 February 2008).

These were the most powerful 6-coupled tanks in the Reseau during this period. They operated until 1928.
