American Mikados in France

Link to a one hour and thirty-seven minute film with narration in French about Baldwin- & Alco-built Mikados on the French National Railway post-WWII. Gives the impression there must have been a lot of railfans over there with movie cameras. Quite a bit on construction of the locomotives, then shipping, and then one action scene after another, apparently all over France. A lot of scenes taken in the engine cabs. Wish I'd studied harder in French class.
