Journées
du Patrimoine (Heritage Days)- Saturday 20th September 2014
Pinguely No 2 pulls into Lanchères
Pendé staion with the 1645 from Cayeux sur Mer.
Shortly afterwards No 2 brings the mixed
train into the stations loop.
No 15 brings the 1730 from Le Crotoy into
Noyelles sur Mer. The Le Crotoy line, on right, is metre gauge, whilst
the
line from St. Valery sur Somme, on left is dual gauge: metre gauge and
standard gauge.
Shortly afterwards the train from St.
Valery arrives on the dual trackwork.
The locomotives have both run around
their train in Noyelles sur Mer terminus and are now seen leaving
together...
...No15 takes the dual track to St.
Valery whilst No 3714 takes the track to Le Crotoy - a very fine sight!

The following day we rode to Cayeux sur
Mer in the saloon, seen here, at the rear of the mixed train.
No 15 has is just coupling up to the
mixed train having just run roun at Cayeux sur Mer station.
The two passenger vehicles are next to the engine.
A view of locomotive from the saloon as
it begins its descent through the tree-lined section into St. Valery sur
Somme.
The metre gauge diesel railbus was
operating a shuttle service from St. Valery Port & Ville to Canal
Depot.
It was surprisingly comfortable!
Passengers alighted at St. Valery Canal
and were able to join guided tours of the depot.
Some of the exhibits outside the shed.
