Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 2 (Locobase 6210)

Data from Data from [link] (10 July 2004). When the CF de Vicinaux du Jura was under construction, this little tank pulled the constuction trains. It was one of several rail lines the SACM engine supported, the last being the Champagnole line. The end of #2's line came in 1926.
