Military Railways: Chart of Units

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Didn't SNCF build a batch of 1-4-1Rs itself?  My last revenue steam- 
hauled standard gauge Class 1 (I think SNCF qualifies as a Class  
One!) passenger train trip was behind a 1-4-1R out of Le Havre in  
1967.  I enjoyed it, but I was more impressed by the SNCF electric  
that took over after a while and took us to Paris - we flew!

Re Military Railways, it might be of interest to some that many  
military engines were constructed for the French National Railways in  
the early and mid 40's by US and Canadian steam manufacturers. All  
following listed were 2-8-2's (with the exception of a Porter  
0-6-0T), all classed 141-R. This is certainly only a partial listing:
