German army 600 mm gauge field 0-8-0 steam locomotive, WW1


Built by Krauss in 1917 and now in the Chemin de Fer Froissy Dompierre (CFCD) roster.  This 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) narrow gauge tourist railway runs 7 km from Froissy (a hamlet of La Neuville-lès-Bray) to Dompierre-Becquincourt, through Cappy, in the Somme department of France. The operating body is APPEVA (Association Picarde pour la Préservation et l'Entretien des Véhicules Anciens) and the line is also known as le Petit Train de la Haute Somme. It is the last survivor of the 600 mm gauge WW1 battlefield railways.
