SNCF: the electric shunting locomotive 80007 heads a Corail Téoz set, to tow it to the sidings.
The Class BB 80000 consisted of twelve locomotives for passenger train shunting, resulting from the transformation of many other BB 8100 series electric locomotives, carried out between 1995 and 1997. They were put out of service between 2002 and 2010.
The original BB 8100 series consisted of 172 locomotives (8001 and 8101 to 8271), built by Alsthom, Jeumont-Schneider and Oerlikon between 1948 and 1955.
The locomotive of this photo, the BB 80007, is the old BB 8121. It was transformed on April 5, 1996 and put out of service on July 1, 2009.

R2024. GARE DE CHAUNY, NORTHERN FRANCE.
A train of vintage carriages hauled by Chemin de Fer de Chauny à St. Gobain No 3, an 0-6-0T built in 1881, formed a special train from Chauny to St. Gobain and back on Sunday, 18th October, 1964.
The Chemin de Fer de Chauny à St. Gobain was opened in 1860 to connect glassworks at St. Gobain with the main line at Chauny and although it did once run passenger trains these ceased in 1950.
The special train was run by the Fédération des Amis des Chemins de fer Secondaires (FACS) a group of French railway enthusiasts with a particular interest in rural and branch line railways; we happened to be in France at the time and met some FACS members who told us about the special train.
This photo shows it at Chauny before departure; it was a misty moisty morning and the light, such as it was, was quite a challenge for the slow films and lenses of the day.

R2033. CHEMIN DE FER CHAUNY À ST. GOBAIN, NORTHERN FRANCE. GARE DE ST. GOBAIN.
A train of vintage carriages hauled by Chemin de Fer de Chauny à St. Gobain No 3, an 0-6-0T built in 1881, formed a special train from Chauny to St. Gobain and back on Sunday, 18th October, 1964.
The Chemin de Fer de Chauny à St. Gobain was opened in 1860 to connect glassworks at St. Gobain with the main line at Chauny and although it did once run passenger trains these ceased in 1950.
The special train was run by the Fédération des Amis des Chemins de fer Secondaires (FACS) a group of French railway enthusiasts with a particular interest in rural and branch line railways; we happened to be in France at the time and met some FACS members who told us about the special train which we chased and then went to the station at St. Gobain.
There we found two other engines, both sadly out of use - they were Nos. 1 and 6. No.1, was an 0-8-0T built by Blanc Misseron in 1922. It’s basically an SNCF Class 040TA – as depicted in an H0 model by Jouef. No. 6 was a 2-6-0T and that was built in 1908 by Cockerill.
Unfortunately, the slide has deteriorated badly over the years so it’s hardly a master shot, but I’ve included it here for historical interest.
