For those of you needing a translation for the Remarks & Notes with this photo. From French to English it says: Shortly before a close closure, the "final four" of the railway depot of Chaumont before the P 13 150. Apparently this was taken a few days before the SNCF closed this depot - and the rail yard around it, and this was one of the last four trains to come through. The locomotive is a P 13 150.

This is the last team (dernier carré) of engineers before the disparition of steam engines on the line. The engine on the picture is a 150 type (that means 2-10-0).

Thank you for the clarification Raymond GRANCHER - I apologize for the mix up with the translation. I knew it had something to do with the last steam train on the line, and of course my interpretation was slightly off - (by a mile! LOL) But thank you - sad to see it was the last group of engineers for the steam locomotives before Diesel locomotives came along. But as they say - "progress".....
