Steam locomotive Avignon-Marseille No. 6 "L'Aigle", built 1846 by Robert
Stephenson & Cie at Newcastle-upon-Tyne (factory No. 401). This is a
third generation longboiler engine, an improvement over the Patentee
class (of which the first steam locomotive in Germany "Der Adler" is an
example). It was delivered by ship to Marseille (via Gibraltar). Later it
became PLM No. 206, it remained in service until 1865, then used from 1871
as a stationary heating engine in Valence and Oullins until 1913, when the
decision was taken to preserve the locomotive, which was shown on various
exhibitions since then. Weight 22.1 t, length 7.39 m, wheel diameter 1.7 m.
The tender is not preserved. Mulhouse, Cité du Train, 2006-06-02. |
