The privately owned TS was the Chemin de Fer d' Interet Local that operated 416 km (258 miles) of railways that radiated from the city of Le Mans, which is about 115 km southwest from Paris and due south of Caen in Normandy. A 1928 map shows five lines departing from Le Mans for the cardinal N E S W points. Each had branches, some of which branched further.
Heading northeast out of Le Mans, the Mamers line curved 90 degrees at Nogent-le-Bernard toward the northwest and arriving 47 km (29 miles) north of Le Mans. Five locomotives built by Fives-Lille opened the railway in 1872.
73 years later the SACM produced this example of the 1935 Friedrich Krupp tank engine design that, according to the PVF account, represented the Third Reich's assignment of the design to SACM after the 1940 Armistice. SACM produced 20 Krupp-designed tanks, but only works 8157-8158 apparently were similar to this engine.
