Remarks & Notes |
The PO (Paris to Orleans Company) ZRI 1 snowplow is not self-propelled, and must be pushed by a locomotive to move forward, the steam from the boiler only being used to drive the turbine. The snow plow was accompanied by a three-axle tender that was scrapped in Nevers. It has first been assigned to Ussel, then in 1950 to Aurillac. It was last used on February 1971 on the Causses line between Neussargues and Séverac-le-Château and deregistered in 1975.The engine has been built by the American Locomotiv Company (Alco) in 1908. |
