Unspecified 2-4-0 Locomotives in France


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class CF d'Interet Local (Locobase 11328)

Data from Charles Alfred Oppermann, Traite Complet des Chemins de Fer Economiques D' Interet Local (Paris: Imprimerie Pillet Fils Aine, 1873), pp.153-154.

In the melee that ensued after passage of the first French law to encourage development of rural, light-service railways, several locomotive builders offered examples of the kind of engine that suit the service.

Corpet was the successor to Anjubault.
