241 P 16, built 1947 by Creusot-Schneider as one of 35 locomotives
241 P. These post-war locomotives are an improvement of the PLM 241
C 1, first European steam locomotive with four coupled wheelsets of
2 m diameter. This too is a four-cylinder compound engine. The last
241 P was delivered in 1952, the last SNCF-designed steam locomotive.
The 241 P were used in the south-east and north of France, then after
electrification of the mainlines, between Lyon and Marseille. The last
went out of service in 1969. Weight 131.4 t, length (including tender)
26.95 m, wheel diameter 2.02 m, speed 120 km/h.

Sncf 241 P 7 -Mountain type- is filling its water tank - Moret 1968
Moret-(Veneux)les-Sablons was the junction between the electrified classic line Paris Dijon Lyon, and the non electrified branch from Moret to Nevers and Clermont-Ferrand.
Though the way from Paris to Moret is rather short, less than 100 km, a hauling change took place there.
It gave the opportunity to catch sided locs, steam, diesel and electric, waiting for their next duty.
Nonetheless, Moret was not a workshop or a shed.
It is much different today. Long range trains for Dijon Lyon and Marseilles are TGV that use the high speed line, and the branch for Clermont is electrified and operated by Sybic locs and Teoz coaches, with a speed limit of 200 km/h.
There is no more hauling change in Moret.
