Paris-Strasbourg (Est) No. 80. Built 1852 by JF Cail & Cie. This is a "Crampton" locomotive, named after Thomas Russell Crampton, chief designer of Great Western, who had the idea to place the driving axle behind the firebox, lower the boiler for a low center of gravity and enlarge the wheel diameter to 2.30 m. The design was not successful in Britain, but became widespread in France. The main disadvantage was that not much weight was on the powered wheels, so the tractive effort was not high. The 12 locomotives of this type, together with 15 more built 1854 by Creusot, were used for most express and postal trains from Paris to Strasbourg until 1870. Some of them, including the 80, spent the French/German war in Olten (Switzerland). The 80 was used on local trains until 1914 when it was retired after 2433298 km. Weight (incl. tender): 50.5 t; length (incl. tender): 13.51 m.
