Back in 1999 I took the train from Carcassone to Paris. I was surprised to see a steam locomotive, seemingly ready for service - certainly it was spotted in the midst of a very active junction. Can anyone identify this locomotive for me? From what I remember, this is on the eastern side of the main line from Toulouse to Paris. From the image data, this location is about an hour and a half north of Carcassone - we took the express train that didn't stop more than once or twice before this location, so I'd guess that this is about 150-175 miles north of Carcassone. It's also about an hour south of Cahors, judging by the data in the frame after this one.
