The CFBS and the Blonay-Chamby Railway & Museum in Switzerland have found another opportunity to work together by bringing of a Swiss locomotive to participate in the 10th ‘Fête de la Vapeur’.
Formerly also No.6 on the Biere Apples Morges line, this beautiful steam locomotive, typically Swiss in appearance, will appear at the Baie de Somme in the guise of Jura-Simplon No.909. It was built in 1901 by the famous SLM company of Winterthur, Switzerland, and has undergone improvements throughout its working life.

Do not be fooled by the size of this elegant 0-6-0 locomotive, it was built to climb the demanding gradients in the Swiss mountains ! No doubt its arrival will arouse as much enthusiasm from the public as the Dampfbahn-Furka-Bergstrecke’s beautiful locomotive No.3 did during its visit to the 2009 event …
