Chemin de Fer du Val de Passey, Heritage railway in Choloy-Ménillot, France.
The narrow-gauge railway stretches for 800 meters through forested areas and crosses two streams near the town of Toul in northeastern France.
The railway began when banker Jacques Maginot discovered a Bagnall steam locomotive named Charles in 1968 and restored it to operational condition.
The railway preserves two historical locomotives, Charles and Simonne, which represent different aspects of French industrial and military railway engineering.
The railway operates five to six days annually between June and September, with the first train departing at 14:00 and tickets costing 2 euros.
Two wooden passenger coaches, built by Jacques Maginot in 1972 and 1975, carry 12 and 18 passengers respectively on the 600mm gauge track.
