Class 2 (Locobase 6817)

Data from the table presented on pages 426, 427 of the Groupe VI. - GTnie civil. - Moyens de transport. DeuxiFme partie. Classes 32 (Tome I), part of the series of Rapports du Jury Internationale of the Exposition Unverselle Internationale de 1900 Paris Exposition, hosted on the website of Le Conservatoire numTrique des Arts & MTtiers ([], Accessed 21 August 2005). Works number was

The CF T a' B-sur-G was a light railway built as part of a network of lines d'intTrOt

local a voie Ttroite (narrow-gauge local). The little six-coupled had a very short wheelbase for its overall length, which must have limited its speed considerably.
