Info thanks to Sébastien Kieffer The Chemin de Fer Touristique Pontarlier-Vallorbe (CFTPV), also called "Coni'fer", owned 3 baldwins: the 62001 (S/N 72898), the 62062 (73177) and the 62073 (73188). The first 2 (62001 & 62062) were stationed at the workshop of the Chemins de fer et transport automobile (CFTA) in Arc-Lès-Gray. The CFTA was a very old company (more than 130years now) who had the privilege to be authorized to run trains even during the time when the SNCF had the monopoly in France. They now are owned by Europorte, the company operating the channel tunnel between France and England. The workshop in Arc-lès-Gray now belongs to a subsidiary of Europorte called "SOCORAIL" The 62001 was protected as a historic monument as you can see here on the website of the ministry of culture: Ministry of Culture  But like the 62062, it was in a desolate condition. Both scrapped in 2021. In 2003 the 62073 had been fully restored in a color (purple) that might be questionable but at least it was preserved and the technical parts were present and (I believe but i'm not sure) they were functional. It was a beautiful locomotive that had cost a lot of money because the SNCF workshop of Oullins in the suburb of Lyon had restored it. The bad idea of the CFTPV was to hide the loco in a tunnel. As of 2018 the 62073 belongs to the Chemin de Fer Touristique du Rhin (CFTR) and has been moved to its new home. See: CFTR Facebook post from May 11, 2022 |
