HFF Verdun Lorraine France 19th December 1969

A Blast from the Past.

A snowy everyday scene in eastern France in 1969.

An unidentified SNCF 140C 2-8-0 reversing north away from Verdun railway station is observed from the Avenue de Mort-Homme overbridge.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

Best appreciated in large format.

That's a real blast from the past, as you say Peter. Always nice to see 'real' steam of the day. Looks a bit cool. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
