FRENCH STEAM FESTIVAL - May 2023 [6]

The Bank Holiday Monday was surprisingly quiet at Longueville (apart from the manic whistling and horn blowing) and it was possible to get a little closer to some of the locos in the yard.
After watching a variety of departures, ending with 241 P 17 topped and tailed with 567558, I set off to catch the railcar to Montereau, little knowing that I'd soon see the 'Mountain' again.

Excellent video Will. Well captured.. Big steam engines with stupid high pitch whistles. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. It looked very enjoyable Best wishes C&A

Are these locos fired with coal or oil?

Those on display mostly coal - the 141 R 840 is oil fired. The rowdy generator in this video is recharging the oil!
