Cite du Train: Est 4-2-0 no.80 "Le Continent". This loco is (reputed to be) still in working order, and the low boiler and high driving wheel meant that the loco could achieve high speeds safely (for the time). Built in the 1840's, these locos were used on boat trains, and prompted the french expression "prendre le Crampton" (take the Crampton), meaning to catch a train. One of these class held the world speed record of 144km/h for its time.
