A demonstration railroad train at the Paris Exposition in 1889. Transport around the Exposition was partly provided by this 3 km long gauge railway by Decauville. It was claimed that the railway carried 6,342,446 visitors in just six months of operation. Some of the locomotives used on this line later saw service on the Chemins de Fer du Calvados.
