The 241 P 17 steam locomotive, a listed historic monument, is the largest steam locomotive in Europe. It was built between 1949 and 1950 by Schneider in Le Creusot. After 13 years of passionate restoration by volunteers from Chemins de Fer du Creusot, the locomotive was returned to service in 2006.
