Waiting for the tram


Hi Val


Here’s an old photo of the main road through Septfonds showing the one metre wide tramlines.

There was a steam tram running 22 km from Caussade to Caylus, which opened in 1913.

It was one of six similarly short lines in the Tarn et Garonne which all closed in 1933 due to competition from motor vehicles.

I guess the photo is from about 1920.



Best wishes



John
