Looooong time ago a 30km-network of 600 mmm gauge train was provisionning sugar mills with sweet beetroots freshly harvested in around Pithiviers. There was also a passengers service. (you can read the full story here using Google Translate : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramway_de_Pithiviers_à_Toury). Disrupted in Nov 1964, a part of the rolling stock belong to the AMTP, a presevation society I was volunteer in looonnng time ago (too). 

 

Back to Pithiviers, I've spend a bit a of time to make some videos to share my journey with you

 

 

I let you discover this lovly train.

@JR East - I am going to have to time my visits to France better.  It would have been great to get to see this.  I certainly enjoyed the pictures you sent but it would be a great experience to see these trains in person.
