The Musée des tramways à vapeur et des chemins de fer secondaires français (Museum of French steam tramways and secondary railways — MTVS) is located alongside Valmondois railway station, in the small town of Butry-sur-Oise in the departement of Val-d'Oise, north of Paris. The museum houses a collection of railway vehicles from the former French departmental railways, preserved, restored and rebuilt by the members of an association. During the season, short trips can be made on some of the exhibits, along a metre gauge () line, one kilometre (0.62 miles) in length, nicknamed the "Impressionists' railway". ==History== Established in 1976 on the site of the former railway line from Valmondois to the town of Marines, the 'Association of the Transportation Museum of the Sausseron Valley' patiently assembled an important collection of railway vehicles from the old regional French networks. The collection has become the most important in France on the theme of secondary railways using the one metre gauge. In 1999, the association changed its name to the ''Musée des Tramways à Vapeur et des chemins de fer Secondaires français''. In October 2006, the association celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. It was once planned for the museum to be moved further northwest, to the Vexin region, where it would have had larger storage space and a longer railway line to use for its train journeys, but the project was abandoned in March 2009.〔 (March 18, 2009: End of the project of removal in Vexin ) Web site of MTVS〕 During the winter of 2007-08, the terminus of the small passenger line became inaccessible when large rocks fell onto the track.〔(March 16, 2008: Railway line blocked because of a landslide ) Web site of MTVS〕 Journeys were restricted to the Rue de Parmain. Since 2013 a project is under way to transfer the museum to Crèvecœur-le-Grand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Musée des tramways à vapeur et des chemins de fer secondaires français」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
