Book
Written by Nicolas Novel Catin, this booklet summarizes the history of the «Sea Bathers’ Railway», its. The lines are described, with their gradients and technical features, but also their more discreet attractions that will prompt readers to explore the railway! The author also reviews at length the engines, carriages and wagons, with a special emphasis on the fine collection of preserved steam locomotives. Each engine, steam or diesel, has its own description. Finally, like a true enthusiast, Nicolas tells us how to fire up a steam locomotive. This 32 page booklet is lavishly illustrated with atmospheric shots that reflect the uniqueness of the Somme Bay and of its peerless light. A few previously unpublished archival documents will also delight fans of early steam locomotives.
