Deutsch: Service Rapide, französischer Schienenlaster, 8/9 Januar 1921, vor einem Güter- und einem Personenwagen, die typisch für die VFIL (Voie ferrée d'intérêt local) oder die französischen Landstraßenbahnen sind Français : Intéressante photo, datant, très probablement du début des années 20 : époque, où pour réduire les couts d'exploitation, plusieurs réseaux secondaires Français avaient fait appel à des véhicules routiers à essence, montés sur rails pour assurer des services voyageurs (cas des camionnettes GMC, convertis en autos-rails, par exemple), voir des services de messageries, comme la vue ci-dessus. - En Eure et Loir, sur le réseau départemental des TEL (groupe SCF-Baert et Verney), un véhicule de ce genre (camionnette avec châssis : "Luc-Cour"), fut utilisé comme autorail sommaire pour assurer, en 1922, le service urbain de Lèves à Luisant, (NB : remplacée peu après par deux autorails GMC-Baert et Verney) avant d'être cédée au CFB (Belfort) comme Draisine.- A noter que, en arrière plan, un fourgon et une voiture bien typique des VFIL ou tramways ruraux Français. English: A photo, dating, most probably, from the early 1920's: a time when, to reduce operating costs, several French secondary networks had resorted to the use of gasoline-powered road vehicles, mounted on rails, to provide passenger services (e.g. GMC vans, converted into railcars), or even courier services, as seen above. - In Eure et Loir, on the departmental TEL network (SCF-Baert and Verney group), a vehicle of this kind (van with chassis: "Luc-Cour"), was used as a make-shift railcar to provide, in 1922, the urban service from Lèves to Luisant, (NB: replaced shortly afterwards by two GMC-Baert and Verney railcars) before being transferred to the CFB (Belfort) as a Draisine.- Note that, in the background, a goods wagon and a passenger carriage very typical of the VFIL or French rural tramways. |
