Product Description
CF de Camargue

 

 

Deutz diesel shunter

 

 

The CF de Camargue was a metre gauge railway running from Arles on 4 lines.

Transportation of salt was one main reason for lines to be built. At Arles salt was transferred to standard gauge wagons.

From the start steam was used, but supplies of good quality of water led company to look for alternatives to steam power, and started to plan to convert to electric power prior to WW1, which delayed project . Work started in 1920s and continued up till 1930s.

Electric locos were introduced in 1932. Each had a freight compartment, so were part loco/part railcar. They were used on both passenger and freight trains.

Electric railcars(automotice) were also introduced

 

 

 

 

Diesel shunters were introduced at same time, 2 were from Deutz, one an 0-4-0 (Deutz OMZ 130) ,one an o-6-o (Deutz OMD 130) and a spare loco . Photos suggest other locos were used at times.  The Deutz OMZ130 was very similar to two deutz locos sold through Bagnalls in Britain to railways in India

 

New bogie salt wagons were introduced in 1940s. Some of these were later transferred to CF d La Mure, but proved unsuitable due to damage caused by the salt.

 

The railway was finally closed in the 1950s, but much of the station and workshops at Arles still exist at time of writing.
