France-Charente Maritime : Le Train des Mouettes/Saujon-La Tremblade ex-Train de la Seudre.
Operated from July 2004 by Connex Tradition, this museum train brings passengers for 21km through the landscapes of Marennes Oléron. Trains are composed with renewed cars (from CFTA-Cargo workshops) and haled by a seam loc Schneider 030 (french classification)
This old steam loc was not quite reliable in July 2004, and frequently replaced by a diesel shunter.

Diesel shunter is near to leave La Tremblade.
